Coley has teamed up again with former Jamaica coach Winfried Schafer in the Iranian football team.

"I am very excited about the move. Knowing I will be coaching in a different country that is at the World Cup and that I will be coaching in the Asian Champions League," Coley said in an interview with jamaica-gleaner.com.

"My greatest challenge will be the language, but through the interpreter, I will be fine. Plus I am a professional, I have to adapt and learn quickly. As it relates to my professional development, it's a step in the right direction," added Coley, who also assisted Schafer in Jamaica set-up.

"As a coach, (this move) broadens my horizon and scope on the game to fully and highly concentrate on football on a high level."

"I look forward to working with coach Schafer as he is the one that brought global attention to me as a coach. He gives room to learn and express one's opinion, and he is very honest," added Coley.
