Managerial career[]

After retiring from professional football, Mehrabian received a coaching position from Iranian Armenian club Ararat Tehran F.C. His success at the club earned Mehrabian the opportunity to coach both the Iran national under-20 football team and Iran national football team.[2]

Upon being released from his duties in 1978, Mehrabian began a short stint with Machine Sazi in Tabriz. This opportunity revitalized his coaching career, bringing him to the attention of the United Arab Emirates Football Association, becoming the coach of the nation's team in 1980.[3]

Mehrabian currently resides in Glendale, California. He is the director of his own soccer academy and is the coach of amateur side Pyunik Los Angeles.[4][5]
