Iranian Sepahan’s coach Morais converts to Islam

Iranian football team Sepahan’s Portuguese coach Jose Morais announced that he has converted from Christianity to Islam “with honor.”

Morais told a press conference on Friday, “I changed (my religion) some time ago… and for that reason I’m a member of the Iranian family.”

Other football stars like Franck Ribery, Clarence Seedorf, Nicolas Anelka and Paul Pogba have also converted to Islam in the past.
