Moving quickly to try to fill the last spot in his cabinet, President Rohani submitted Sunday the name of Nasrollah Sajjadi (photo) as his nominee for minister of sports and youth. Rohani’s last nominee was rejected by the Majlis reportedly for lack of experience in the subject matter. Sajjadi is now associate professor of physical education and sports sciences at Tehran University and previously was president of the Iran Football federation, secretary general of the National Olympic Committee and a member of the Olympic Council of Asia.
