Biography

Javad Zarincheh (Persian: جواد زرینچه‎, born July 23, 1966 in Tehran) is a former Iranian football player, coach and a football administrator. He is currently team manager of Esteghlal. He played for the Iran national football team and was a participant at the 1998 FIFA World Cup.

Career

Zarincheh was considered as one of the best right wing back in the history of Iranian football. However, late in his career he was playing as a sweeper. There was a rumor that Mohammad Mayelikohan, Iran's head coach back in the time, didn't invite him to the national team, due to his hostility with Esteghlal's players. That's why Zarincheh was never invited to the national team, when Mayelikohan was the head coach. After Mayelikohan was sacked, Bijan Zolfagharnasab invited him to the national team. In the 1998 World Cup, he played as the right wing for the Iranian national team. Iran's first goal against the United States was assisted by Zaricheh.

The 1998 World Cup competition was his last competition with the national team.

Coaching

He was chosen as the assistant manager of Esteghlal for 2014–2015 season.
