Estili retired from international football in 2000. He had 82 caps and 12 goals for the national team.

Estili has been an assistant coach for Persepolis FC since 2005. After Arie Haan left the team in August 2006, Estili became the temporary head coach. Shortly afterwards, Mustafa Denizli was signed as the head coach and Estili returned to his former position. During the 2006–07 mid-season break, Estili left the team due to problems with Denizli.
Estili is currently an assistant coach to Afshin Ghotbi, the head-coach of the club in the IPL 2007/08 season.
