The former captain again against the blues / 10th mercy encounter with Esteghlal, in search of the second win

Mehdi Rahmati will be the head coach against Esteghlal for the 10th time and hopes to win his second victory against his former team.

According to "Varzesh Se", the match between Esteghlal and Golgohar is different from all other matches for Mehdi Rahmati. The former goalkeeper and captain of the Blues, who spent many years of his playing career in this club, will face Esteghlal as the goal coach this time.

During his coaching career, Rahmati has faced Esteghlal 9 times with Shahr Khodro, Aluminum, Nasaji, Hawadar, Shams Azar and Khyber teams. The result of these matches was one victory, three draws and five defeats, and now Golgohar is the seventh team that he leads against the Blue Poshans.

Rahmati's only win against Esteghlal was in his first appearance on the bench of Shams Azar. His team won that match by one goal, ending the former fan, textile and aluminum manager's long spell against the Blues. Rahmati's last confrontation with Esteghlal during his time on the Khyber bench ended with a 1-1 draw.

Rahmati now comes to Quds City with a team that had won two consecutive three-goal victories in the league before their Asian match. A second win against Esteghlal could improve his record against his former team, although this time it would have to be against the only undefeated team in the league.
