Mojtaba Moharrami

Mojtaba Moharrami (Persian: مجتبی محرمی, born 16 April 1964) is an Iranian former football player and now coach.

Regardless of the fact that he has been one of the best left-backs of Iranian football history, he is mostly known for his several controversial actions in different matches.

In a rare appearance in a live TV show in 2011, he claimed that the punishment which ruined his career was too severe and unfair.

He also was banned for a year for attacking referee Jamal Al Sharif during Iran–Japan match in 1992 Asian Cup.

Despite his actions towards referees and opponents in the games, he has remained a popular figure in the Iranian football history and considered an icon.
