TEHRAN, June 22 (Xinhua) -- Italian coach Walter Zenga has been linked with a move to Iran's Persepolis soccer club, Persian Football website reported on Saturday.
The 59-year-old coach has been out of a job since being sacked by Serie B club Venezia in March.
Zenga previously coached Emirati soccer clubs Al Ain, Al Nasr, Al Jazira and Al Shaab.
He also worked as head coach at Italian Serie A teams Catania and Sampdoria.
Persepolis are looking for a replacement for Branko Ivankovic, who left the Iranian giants to lead Al Ahli of Saudi Arabia.
Ivankovic led Persepolis to the Iranian domestic treble last season. Under the Croat, the Reds experienced their first ever AFC Champions league final as well.
The new season of the Iranian league will kick off on July 30.
