Former coaches
Season 2007/2009
Vatanikia, known as the "Iranian Cappelo", was named head coach of Mes Rafsanjan for the 2007/2008 season. He is best known for his success with youth teams, such as Paykan and Ekbatan. He was the head of the Youth department of Ekbatan football club for the 2005/2006 season, which was regarded as one of the best youth systems in the country at the time. Despite being in the top six, Vatanikia was surprisingly sacked before the end of the season, after less than 10 months in office.
