ISFAHAN,July 4(MNA) - Luka Bonacic was named as the new head coach of Zob Ahan football team. On Tuesday, the 58-year-old Croat replaced Zob Ahan temporary coach Mahmoud Yavari in the Isfahan based team. “I love the challenge, that’s why I’m here. I accepted the post since I believe that the team has the potential to improve once again,” Bonacic said. “I have no magic wand but I will do my best to get good results.
