Hamid Reza Estili (Persian: حميد رضا استيلی; born 1 April 1967[1]) is an Iranian football coach and former player.

Estili played for Al Qadisiya Kuwait, Bahman, Esteghlal Jonoub, Geylang United and Pas.

After the 1998 FIFA World Cup he signed for FK Austria Wien,[citation needed] however due to unforeseen circumstances, he returned to Iran and played the remaining six years of his career at his beloved Persepolis FC.

In the famous Tehran derby played in 2000, he fought with Mohammad Navazi at the end of the match and was arrested by police.

[5] After Haan left the team in August 2006, and Mustafa Denizli was signed as the head coach, Estili returned to his former position.

On 13 January 2007, during the 2006–07 mid-season break, Estili left the team being sacked again,[5] this time by Denizli due to problems with him.

[5] Estili was appointed as the head coach of the new promoted team Steel Azin in summer of 2009 and had many starts such as Ali Karimi, Mehdi Mahdavikia, Hossein Kaebi, Fereydoon Zandi, Amir Shapourzadeh and Alireza Vahedi Nikbakht but after failing to progress in Hazfi Cup and totally missing the chance of winning the league he was sacked on 19 April 2010.

[5] Estili was appointed Head Coach of Shahin Bushehr on 1 June 2010 and was fired on 4 April 2011, replaced by Mahmoud Yavari.

[15] Some fans believed that the Technical Committee was a show from Kashani to pull over Daei, and select his "beloved friend" Estili.

[17] In the opening match of the season against Malavan, which ended 1–1 after the weak performance of Persepolis and late tying goal by Hossein Badamaki, fans started screaming the name of Ali Daei since 60th minute, showing their displeasure.

He finally resigned on 9 December 2011 after a 3–0 home defeat to arch rivals Esteghlal in quarter-finals of 2011–12 Hazfi Cup.
