Mahmoud Yavari (Persian: محمود یاوری, born 22 April 1939) is an Iranian football coach and retired player. He was head coach of the Iran national football team for a short period of time in 1984. He has coached many teams like Zob Ahan, Sepahan, Shahin Bushehr, Tractor Sazi, Pas Tehran, Pas Hamedan, Rah Ahan and Fajr Sepasi. He is one of the oldest and most experienced head coaches in Iranian football history.
He began his football at Shahin Isfahan and joined the PAS after the club's establishment and was teammate with Ranjbar and Habibi. He retired and left Pas in 1969.
He was invited to the Iran national football team by Mahmoud Bayati in 1967. He made his debut in a match against Hong Kong on 10 May 1968. He had just three caps with the national team without scoring any goal.
After Zob Ahan was established in 1969, Yavari became the club's first ever head coach but because he didn't have any managerial experience, he was sacked in 1970. Then, he was appointed as coach to another Isfahan-based team, Sepahan. He was head coach of Sepahan for eight seasion in his first time in the club. He resigned in 1978 and was quickly appointed as Bargh Shiraz head coach but was sacked in the same year. Sepahan appointed Yavari for a second time and was kept as club head coach until 1980.
