Octavio returns to Iran hot seat

The Brazilian coach has been appointed for a fourth spell in charge of the Asian champions.

Marco Octavio has been named as the new coach of Iran – the Brazilian returning for a fourth stint in charge of Team Melli.

Octavio first took charge of Iran in 2007, before returning for further spells in 2010 and 2012, with the coach having taken Iran to two FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup quarter-finals in 2013 and 2015.

Having most recently been in charge of Belarus, Octavio replaces Mohammad Hossein Mirshamsi as Iran boss after he ensured a third-place finish at this year’s FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup in The Bahamas.

Octavio lists Brazil, Portugal, or China among his former employers within beach soccer and will be tasked with continuing Iran’s recent dominance in Asia.
