Former Sunderland and Leeds boss Peter Reid has rejected an offer to coach the Iranian national side.
Reid, who is currently out of work, claims he turned down a three-year deal to take charge of Iran, who have been without a coach since the sacking of Amir Ghalenoei back in July.
Former England international Reid admits he found the offer tempting, but decided in the end to reject their overtures.
"It's international football and they've got some decent players around Europe," the 51-year-old told the Asian Football Confederation website.
"Obviously I know Andranik (Teimourian) at Bolton and I like (Javad) Nekounam at Osasuna." Sporting Life
