The 63-year-old is reportedly ready to fly to Dubai and hold discussion with president Mohammad Ruyanian.
"We are going to sign a big coach. We have negotiated with Sven-Goran Eriksson," said Ruyanian.
The Swede has been without a job since he was sacked by Championship club Leicester City last month.
