Ali Parvin (Persian: علی پروین, Nicknamed Soltan
that means the King Of Kings( Great Shah), born September 25, 1947
in Tehran) is an Iranian football coach and
former player. He is one of the most famous footballers ever to play in Iran, and regarded as one of the best from
Iran.
Playing
career
Club
career
He was discovered while playing street football with for
neighbourhood club Aref
in the alleys near his home. After being scouted he joined
Alborz FC, the reserve team of Kayan FC, where he
would be called up very quickly. Eventually he made his way to Paykan FC and was one of the star players
in the team in its short run in Iranian football. He moved to Persepolis FC as many other Paykan players
did after the club was dissolved in 1970. After the Iranian
Revolution and during the Iran–Iraq War Parvin was instrumental in
helping the Persepolis club survive, often providing the team with
financial help and not allowing the team to be destroyed. By the
end of his playing career he was a in a player/manager position. He
retired from competitive football in 1988.
International career
Because of his great form for Persepolis he was soon invited to
the national team and had many
impressive displays as a midfielder. His first official cap was on
September 1, 1970 versus Pakistan. He was part
of the Iranian Asian Cup winning sqauds of 1972 and 1976 and
participated in the 72 Munich and 76
Montreal Olympic
Games football tournament. He
retired from international football after Iran's exit in the 1978 World Cup in Argentina. He finished his international
career with 81 caps and 12 goals.
Managerial
career
In late 1989 Parvin (or Sultan as many call him) became the
Iranian national team manager. He had already gained experience
managing Tehran powerhouse, Persepolis FC. At first his popularity
grew even more as the team won the 1990 Asian Games football gold medal,
but early elimination from the 1992 Asian Cup and
failure to qualify for World Cup
1994 cost him his job. He was fired in 1993 and replaced by Stanko Poklepovic.
A number of years after he became the manager of Persepolis FC
and helped the team to a number of league titles. He left the team
briefly in the 2003-04 season but returned the year after as the
technical director of the team. After a poor start for Persepolis
in the 2005-06 season he again became the manager, only to leave at
the end of the season due to the club's poor form.
In recent years Parvin has been criticized for the style of play
his teams show on the field, which is considered by many to be
thoughtless, ugly football with no real plan. Many also believe he
completely ran Persepolis FC, and refused to let anyone else
interfere, believing the team to be truly his own.
On April 30, 2007, Ali Parvin bought the rights to Azadegan League
club Ekbatan F.C. who he renamed to Steel Azin
F.C..[2].
