Hamid Zaremohazabieh - Assistant Coach

Hamid has been with RHSC since 2021 and brings a wealth of experience, starting his coaching journey in Iran back in 2011. He has previously been a Head Coach for multiple IModel and YRSL teams, and served as and Assistant Coach in our OPDL program. Passionate about the game, Hamid is dedicated to helping young players develop their skills and love for soccer. He’s motivated by seeing his players grow and succeed.

Growing up in Iran, Hamid played for multiple clubs as a Right-Back. He won the U16 Premier Youth League championship of Iran, and was called up to the U17 Iran National Team. Unfortunately, he was seriously injured when he was just 20-years old, and could no longer play soccer. He decided at that point to pursue coaching, managing different First Division and Premier Division youth teams in Iran.

He says the best advice he can give his players is, "never give up. Where there's a will there's a way!"
