Mehdi Mahdavikia (born July 24, 1977 in Tehran ) is a former Iranian soccer player and today's soccer coach .
Career as a player
society
Mahdavikia played for the Iranian club Bank Melli Tehran in his youth . In 1995 he was awarded the Golden Shoe as a player by Bank Melli Tehran . His breakthrough came with his move to the top Iranian club Persepolis Tehran in 1995, with which he celebrated three championships and where he became an Iranian national soccer player . In January 1999 - after the 1998 World Cup that was successful for him - he moved to VfL Bochum . Just six months later, the winger, who feels comfortable both as a classic right winger and in right midfield, left for Hamburger SV after Bochum's relegation from the Bundesliga . Because of his unforgettable wing runs and numerous assists, he became a crowd favorite. From the 2005/06 season he was mostly used as a right defender in the back four. After eight seasons at Hamburger SV , Mahdavikia moved to Eintracht Frankfurt in June 2007 on a free transfer . On January 25, 2010, Eintracht Frankfurt announced that Mehdi Mahdavikia was moving to the Iranian capital club Azin Steel Tehran with immediate effect . In the summer of 2011 he moved to the Iranian Pro League promoted Damash Gilan , where he did not feel particularly comfortable. Therefore, after six months, he moved to his former club Persepolis Tehran , for which he played until March 14, 2013 and then ended his career.
National team
Mahdavikia played for the Iranian national soccer team over 100 times . In August 2006 Mahdavikia was appointed the new captain of the Iranian national team , taking over from Ali Daei .
The appearance with green armbands in an international match against South Korea in Seoul after the Iranian presidential elections was seen in Iran as a sensational partisanship for the opposition.
Career as a coach
For the 2015/16 season, Mahdavikia returned to HSV as a youth coach. From then on, he worked as a trainer for the offensive for the U16-U19 age groups.
