TEHRAN, April 29 -- Dutch coach Dick Advocaat is the latest name to be linked with the coaching post of the Iranian national soccer team, Tehran Times daily reported on Monday.

The Iran Football Federation has considered taking the 71-year-old as their national coach when he stands down from his role as FC Utrecht head coach in June.

Advocaat has coached a number of clubs in the Netherlands and abroad including the Russian club Zenit Saint Petersburg, with which he won the 2008 UEFA Cup Final, as well as the national teams of a number of countries, including South Korea, Belgium and Russia.

Iran are without coach after parting ways with Carlos Queiroz in late January.

The Portuguese coach stepped down after nearly eight years as Iran coach following his team's 3-0 loss to Japan in the semi-finals of the Asian Cup.
