Ali Daei ( Persian علی دایی ʿAli Dayi ; * March 21, 1969 in Ardabil ) is an Iranian soccer coach and former soccer player .
Career as a player
societies
Born from the youth of Esteghlal Ardabil , the club based in his birthplace, Ali Daei received a licensed player contract with their professionals at the age of 19 and was thus eligible to play in the Hevdah-e-Shahrivar League , the top division in Iran. After his first professional season, he moved to league rivals Taxirani FC in the renamed Qods League , for which he also played for one season. After four seasons for Tejarat Bank FC, he moved to the first division and record champions Persepolis Tehran in the renamed Azadegan League with which he won the championship title at the end of his second season.
In 1996/97 he played for Al-Sadd, the sports club from Doha (Qatar) and was signed by Bundesliga club Arminia Bielefeld , who noticed him , at the end of the season - not least because of his spectacular appearances during the 1996 Asian Cup in the United Arab Emirates . Daei made his Bundesliga debut on August 2, 1997 (1st matchday) in the 0-1 defeat in the away game against VfL Bochum ; he scored his first goal three days later, on matchday 2, in a 2-1 win at home against VfB Stuttgart , with the goal of the interim 1: 1 in the 70th minute. His performances in the dress of Arminia aroused the interest of well-known clubs, with 1. FC Kaiserslautern and FC Bayern Munich officially vying for him, Daei opted for the Munich team, where he was also used at international club level for the first time. As a substitute, he played five Champions League games, he also played four times for Bayern in the DFB-Pokal competition and won the league cup and the German championship with them, before moving to league rivals Hertha BSC after just one season .
In three seasons for Berlin he played 59 league (6 goals), seven DFB Cup, three league cup games as well as 13 games in the Champions League (4 goals) and six games (2 goals) in the UEFA Cup competition. After the 2001/02 season , which was not very successful in sporting terms , he left the Bundesliga and sought his luck in the United Arab Emirates, at Al-Shabab, the football club from Dubai. In 1999 he was named Asia's Footballer of the Year .
After only one season he returned to Iran and played one season - again - for Persepolis Tehran , two seasons for league rivals Saba Battery Tehran , with whom he won two titles in 2005, and at the end of his playing career one season for Saipa Tehran .
National team
For the senior national team of his country he played 1993-2006 149 times and scored 109 international goals . He is the only male footballer to have scored more than 100 international goals, but only 1 of them against a team in the top 10 of the FIFA world rankings and 55 goals against teams that were 100 to 208 in the FIFA world rankings. He made his debut on June 6, 1993 in Tehran in a 5-0 victory over the national team of Pakistan ; he scored his first goal in the national jersey on June 25, 1993, also in Tehran, in a 6-0 victory over Taiwan . Daei took both the Asian Cup in 1996 in the United Arab Emirates , as well as at the World Cup in 1998 and 2006 in part. He played his last international match on June 21, 2006 in the last World Cup group game , which ended in a 1-1 draw against Angola .
