One of Iran's most prestigious clubs — Tehran's "Esteghlal" — has appointed a new head coach. This time, the choice fell on the experienced Portuguese specialist Ricardo Sa Pinto. He signed a one-year contract with the club and officially started his job.
For football fans, the interesting point is that Sa Pinto is not a stranger to "Esteghlal". In the 2022/23 season, he already managed this team and won the Iran Super Cup. His competitive and disciplined playing style, as well as his ability to motivate the team physically and psychologically, were highly rated by local experts and football fans.
Sa Pinto's reappointment signals "Esteghlal's" big ambitions for the new season. The club management expects not only high results in the domestic league but also at the Asian level.
It should be noted that Uzbek star footballer Jaloliddin Masharipov is currently playing for this club. Masharipov already has experience working with Sa Pinto and knows his coaching style well. According to experts, good mutual understanding between them will play an important role in "Esteghlal's" attacking play.
Sa Pinto’s arrival is not only an interesting development for the Tehran club but also for Uzbek fans. Masharipov's growth and achievements in the new season may largely depend on this cooperation. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
