PLDC - Tehran, The International Federation of Football History & Statistic (IFFHS) issued the list of the World’s best Coaches from 1996 to 2012. Alex Ferguson leads ahead of Arsene Wenger and Jose Mourinho.


Mansour Ebrahimzadeh, the present head coach of Naft Tehran claimed the 216 position. Also, Antonio Oliveira, the head coach of Traktorsazi along with Zlatko Kranjcar, the head coach of Sepahan claimed the 148 position.

Branko Ivankovic, the former head coach of Team Melli claimed the 180 position; and Rene Simoez, the former head coach of Team Melli U23, and Mustafa Denizli claimed the 200 and 242 positions, respectively.

It is strange that the name of Carlos Queiroz, the head coach of Team Melli, is absent from the list, while a coach like Simoez who has not been a coach for years is listed.
