Pro Kabaddi League 2018: 5 reasons why U Mumba can win the title

#3 Iranian coach Gholamreza Mazandarani

Gholamreza Mazandarani coached the Iranian national side to glory in Asian Games 2018

U Mumba are the only franchise in the Pro Kabaddi League to have signed an overseas coach this season when they made Gholamreza Mazandarani their head coach.

The Iranian coach has led the national side to deliver incredible performances at events such as the Kabaddi Masters Dubai and the recently concluded Asian Games 2018. Iran turned heads when they defeated India and went on to win the gold medal for the first time at the Asian Games.

Mazandarani is a gutsy coach who doesn't shy away from experimentation which was displayed when he fielded a young side devoid of stars at the Kabaddi Masters Dubai and still reached the finals. His instincts will be key for the U Mumba side to launch a challenge for the title.
