List of Iranian Football League managers

There are 36 association football teams in the top four tiers of Iranian football, all of which have a manager, or pair of joint managers, sometimes given the alternative title of head coach. The Persian Gulf Pro League and Azadegan League are the only fully professional football leagues in Iran. The Pro League consists of 16 clubs at the top of the Iranian football league system. The remaining 20 clubs are play in Azadegan League.

Some of these managers were appointed as caretaker managers prior to being given a permanent position; if so their caretaker appointment date is denoted in italics. Some managers listed have had more than one spell in charge at their current club or had spells at more than one club, however their time as manager is counted only from the date of their last appointment by their latest club. This list includes every manager currently managing a club in the Persian Gulf Pro League and Azadegan League, in order of the date that they took up their appointment.

Abdollah Veisi, manager of Persian Gulf Pro League side Esteghlal Khuzestan since May 2013, is the longest serving manager in any of the two professional divisions in Iranian football. The second-longest serving manager at this level is Yahya Golmohammadi, who has been manager of Zob Ahan since May 2014.
