Moharram Navidkia (Persian: محرم نویدکیا, born 1 November 1982 in Isfahan, Iran) is an Iranian retired footballer, who last coached Mes Rafsanjan in Persian Gulf Pro League.

He played for the club for 18 years and was its captain. He usually played as a midfielder. During his career, he dealt with consecutive injuries, which made him unable to regain his top form.[2][3][4]

As an international player, he was the former captain of the Iran under-23 team and collected 25 caps for the senior team of Iran, before bidding his farewell in December 2009.[5] His brother, Rasoul Navidkia is also a professional footballer who plays in Sepahan.[6]

Early years

[edit]

His original last name was Ghara Gozlu which he changed later to Navidkia. He is an ethnic Azeri[7] originally from Marand, East Azerbaijan.[8]

Club career

[edit]

He began his career at Sepahan in 1998. From 1998 to 2002 he played as the defensive midfielder, while from 2002 and by the suggestion of Farhad Kazemi his playing post has been changed to attacking midfielder. He managed to attract attention during the 2002–03 Iran Premier League season while playing for a team many at first thought to be average, but they won the championship title at the end.

He was selected the best player of IPL for the 2003–04 season and was considered one of the best Iranian players despite his young age. Due to his potential talent, young age, and impressive performances, he was transferred to VfL Bochum[9] even though he was injured at the time of the signing.

He was not able to recover his old form, and went back to Sepahan in 2006 on loan.[10] After the World Cup in Germany, Navidkia signed a contract with Sepahan again. He had difficulties with the injuries during his career in Sepahan and finally in the 2009–10 season he had his most stable season after a few years. He retired from football on 17 October 2016, after playing 16 years at Sepahan.
