Rahman Rezaei (Persian: رحمان رضايی, born 20 February 1975) is an Iranian football coach and former player.

However, in mid-July, Afshin Ghotbi was re-appointed manager of Persepolis and cut the talks with Rezaei, stating that the club were not looking for a centre-back player at that moment in time.

In European football, Rahman Rezaei is considered a solid defender well inclined to launch devastating counterattacks.

He was formerly a forward, but has proved to be an indispensable defensive stalwart for an Iranian side considered top-heavy in attacking players.

On 6 April 2007 Rezaei stated he will retire from international football after the 2007 Asian Cup.,[6][7] but in another interview in December 2007 he expressed his intention to return to the national team.
