Mohammad Nouri appointed head coach of Sanat Naft Abadan

Iranian former national‑team midfielder and ex‑Persepolis captain Mohammad Nouri has been named the new head coach of Sanat Naft Abadan. The club's board confirmed the appointment in early August, selecting Nouri—who previously served as an assistant coach for the team—over other candidates after the departure of Sid Siroos Pourmosavi.

Sanat Naft, which recently secured promotion back to the Persian Gulf Pro League, faces a short window to finalize its squad and transfer plans before the new season begins. Nouri’s familiarity with the club’s players and internal environment is expected to help the side stabilize and aim for a competitive start in the top division.
