Akbar Mohammadi Argi became the head coach of Iran's national youth football team in 2007. Following the appointment of Carlos Queiroz and federation recommendations regarding the development of youth squads, he took over the under-19 national team. At the AFC U-19 Championship in the UAE, the team advanced from the group stage in first place after defeating Japan and Kuwait, and drawing with the host nation. They were subsequently eliminated from the tournament after losing to South Korea in the knockout stage. Several players from that squad later advanced to the senior national team, the Iranian Persian Gulf Pro League, and European clubs, including Sardar Azmoun, Alireza Jahanbakhsh, Rouzbeh Cheshmi, Farshid Esmaeili, Ali Alipour, Ahmad Abdolahzadeh, Hossein Kanaanizadegan, Ehsan Pahlavan, Mohammad Daneshgar, and Ali Karimi.
