TEHRAN (Tasnim) - Raul Lozano has been repeatedly linked with Iran Volleyball Federation as a replacement for Slobodan Kovac.

The Iranian federation has not yet reached an agreement with the Serbian coach to continue the cooperation with the national team.

�Raul Lozano, Juan Manuel Cichello and Lorenzo Bernardi are among the candidates but we have not reached an agreement with them so far,� head of Iran Volleyball Federation Mohammad Reza Davarzani said.

�We have not parted company with Kovac yet but I think it�s a big risk to continue with him since we have a chance to qualify for the 2016 Olympics,� he added.
