TEHRAN – Reports in Iran suggest that Tractor football club and head coach Dragan Skocic are likely to part ways, despite a historic and highly successful campaign last season.
Skocic guided Tractor to their first-ever title in the Persian Gulf Pro League, marking a landmark achievement in the Tabriz-based club’s history. The Croatian tactician earned widespread praise for transforming the team into genuine title contenders and ultimately champions, delivering consistency, tactical discipline, and strong performances in key fixtures throughout the season.
However, media reports indicate that tensions have emerged behind the scenes. Skocic is believed to be dissatisfied with the club’s policy during the transfer window, particularly regarding recruitment strategy and squad reinforcements. In addition, reports claim he has encountered issues with certain players inside the dressing room, raising concerns about harmony within the squad ahead of the new season.
Despite the uncertainty, Tractor have already secured qualification for the next round of the 2025/26 AFC Champions League Elite under Skocic’s leadership, further underlining the progress made during his tenure.
Should the separation be confirmed, former Persepolis head coach Yahya Golmohammadi is reportedly a leading candidate to take over. Golmohammadi, who recently parted ways with Foolad, brings significant domestic experience and a strong track record in Iranian football.
