www.dailysabah.com – ISTANBUL, Iran’s Esteghlal F.C. football club official said Tuesday that they are in talks to sign former manager of Turkey’s national team Fatih Terim.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Speaking to Iran’s semi-official Tasnim press agency, the club’s representative Amir Soltani said the club officials had a meeting with Terim in Istanbul, in which the veteran coach welcomed Esteghlal’s offer and “naturally” made several requests for a possible agreement.<\/p>\n

Soltani said the management was informed about Terim’s requests and details about the deal will be clear in the upcoming days.<\/p>\n

“Terim is the best Muslim football coach in the world without a doubt. Having him in Iranian football will benefit our team both financially and technically,” Soltani said.<\/p>\n

According to Soltani, Esteghlal is prepared to pay a lavish salary to Terim and would finance his transfer with the club’s upcoming friendly matches with Turkish teams as well as promotion revenues.<\/p>\n

In July, Terim was forced to step down as Turkey coach after he and his two sons-in-law were involved in a fight with a restaurant owner. In a statement, the TFF said that non-football related issues were harming both Terim and the federation.<\/p>\n

Mustafa Denizli, another former Turkey coach, also made a reputation in Iran through brief contracts with PAS Tehran between 2004 and 2006 and with Esteghlal’s archrival Persepolis between 2006 and 2007 and 2011 and 2012.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
