It is still unsure whether Peter Hartley may join as a player or as a coach after announcing on his Twitter last week receiving the UEFA A Diploma Coaching License.

But there is a higher chance of him playing as he did not announce his retirement at his previous club and Inter Kashi have already announced their new head and assistant coach in the recent month.
