The unexpected decision was made due to the struggles of Iran’s freestyle wrestling in qualifying for Paris 2024 in 57 kg, 65 kg, and 74 kg. The initial objective of hiring Mohsen Kaveh is to achieve the best results in the Olympics.
Mohsen Kaveh was chosen because of his acquaintance with the capacity of Iranian wrestlers. Kaveh has been recognized as an experienced Iranian coach who has managed Iranian Wrestling Federation as the youth freestyle team head coach and manager of Iran wrestling national teams in recent years.
Regarding Pejman Dorostkar, many wrestling experts criticized his strategies in various tournaments, especially the two consecutive defeats of Hasan Yazdini against David Taylor.
