In late 1989 Parvin became the Iranian national team manager. He had already gained experience managing Tehran powerhouse Persepolis FC. At first his popularity grew even more as the team won the1990 Asian Games football gold medal, but early elimination from the1992 Asian Cup and failure to qualify forWorld Cup 1994 cost him his job. He was fired in 1993 and replaced byStanko Poklepovic.
He later became the manager of Persepolis FC and helped the team to several league titles. He left the team briefly in the 2003–04 season but returned the year after as the technical director of the team. After a poor start for Persepolis in the 2005–06 season, he again became the manager, only to leave at the end of the season due to the club's poor form.
