Русская версияRutemoeller said he had been in Iran last month for the German
Football Federation (DFB) and had held talks there with the Iranian
Football Federation.
However there had been "no definite
agreements," he said.
Iran head coach Ali Daei had been quoted by Iran's ISNA news agency
as saying 63-year-old Rutemoeller would be starting a coaching
appointment in about three weeks.
The Iranian national team is preparing for qualification games for
the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. The next game will be next
month against Saudi Arabia.
Rutemoeller, a former coach of Cologne and Hansa Rostock, is a
member of the DFB training staff. DFB media director Harald Stenger
said although Rutemoeller was under consideration for an
appointment in a supporting role with Iran he would fulfil his
contract with the German federation until the end of the year.
He was also in negotiations with the DFB over a possible extension
of his contract, he said.
