[edit] Playing career

Talebi had a very short playing career in which he played for Daraei F.C., Esteghlal F.C. and the Iran national football team. He was voted by former team players and footballing experts as one of the best midfielders in Iran's football history. He was known for his heads up plays, his jumping abilities and his skills with the ball.

[edit] Managerial career

Talebi attended Chelsea F.C. coaching school in England from 1971 to 1973. He coached the Iran national under-20 football team from 1975 to 1977.

He was the head coach of the Iranian national team during the 1998 FIFA World Cup. Prior to the tournament, he was appointed to replace Tomislav Ivic after Iran lost 1–7 to A.S. Roma in a warm up friendly match. He stepped down as head coach after the 1998 FIFA World Cup on August 20, 1998[1], but returned to lead the team again during 2000 Asian Cup in Lebanon. He resigned after Iran's elimination in the tournament.

He has also managed Geylang United FC of S.League in 1996, Indonesian Olympic Team from 1996–97, the Syria national football team in 2002, and Al Taliya from 2005–06.

[edit] Personal life

He now lives in Palo Alto, California, with his wife and three sons. He moved to the United States in 1981.
