**Hossein Kaebi** ([Persian](/source/Persian_language): حسین کعبی, born 23 September 1985) is an Iranian former professional [footballer](/source/Association_football) who last played for [Sepidrood](/source/Sepidrood_Rasht_S.C.) and [Perspolis](/source/Persepolis_F.C.) among other clubs in [Persian Gulf Pro League](/source/Persian_Gulf_Pro_League).

## Club career

Kaebi started his football in [Esteghlal Ahvaz F.C.](/source/Esteghlal_Ahvaz_F.C.) youth academy, before moving to [Foolad](/source/Foolad_F.C.). It was in this club that [Croatian](/source/Croatia) coach [Vinko Begović](/source/Vinko_Begovi%C4%87) quickly discovered him and soon he was in the first team line-up despite his tender young age. He was selected for the U17 team that played in the [AFC U-17 Championship 2000](/source/AFC_U-17_Championship_2000). He was also selected for the national team soon after the Asian Championship. Kaebi started getting attention from European clubs at an early age and went on a 3-week trial at [Wolverhampton Wanderers](/source/Wolverhampton_Wanderers_F.C.) in 2003.[3] He was part of the Team that won [Iran's Premier Football League](/source/Iran's_Premier_Football_League) in 2004 with [Foolad](/source/Foolad) for the first time. Kaebi disappointed many when he signed for UAE club [Emirates](/source/Emirates_Club). Kaebi signed a contract with [Persepolis F.C.](/source/Persepolis_F.C.) on 25 February 2007 on a 6-month deal.

On 5 July 2007, he signed a two-year deal with [Leicester City](/source/Leicester_City_F.C.) for an undisclosed fee,[4] making his debut as a substitute in a 4–1 win over [Watford](/source/Watford_F.C.) on 25 August.[5] Kaebi used a translator to speak for him during his time at [Leicester City](/source/Leicester_City_F.C.) as he could not speak English. He was relegated to the reserve squad following the sacking of [Martin Allen](/source/Martin_Allen_(footballer)) on 29 August.[6]

Kaebi revealed on 19 September that he was settling in well with the club and was eager to show his talent to the fans.[7] But on 15 October, he told the [Leicester Mercury](/source/Leicester_Mercury) that he was frustrated at being left in the reserve squad. This left many Iranian fans to question the club's decision to leave an international footballer out of the first team setup.[8] Kaebi later declared to [Sky Sports](/source/Sky_Sports) that if his "time on the bench continues then" he would consider leaving Leicester.[9]

He finally made his long-awaited start on 11 December in a 3–1 defeat to [Ipswich Town](/source/Ipswich_Town_F.C.) on 11 December 2007.[10] He was however transfer listed by then-manager [Ian Holloway](/source/Ian_Holloway) on 23 December, eight days after featuring in a 2–0 defeat to [Hull City](/source/Hull_City_A.F.C.), his last ever appearance for the club.[11] He was released by mutual consent on 4 February 2008, after he failed to secure a move from Leicester when the January transfer window closed.[12]

### Return to Iran

He was returned to [Persepolis](/source/Persepolis_F.C.) after he failed to make an impact at [Leicester City](/source/Leicester_City_F.C.). He won the [Iran's Premier Football League](/source/Iran's_Premier_Football_League) for the second time under [Afshin Ghotbi](/source/Afshin_Ghotbi). Despite the offer from [Persepolis F.C.](/source/Persepolis_F.C.) he decided to move to [Saipa F.C.](/source/Saipa_F.C.) He said he wanted to experience new team and he could not continue playing for [Persepolis F.C.](/source/Persepolis_F.C.) but he never said why. Many others believed that he moved to [Saipa F.C.](/source/Saipa_F.C.) for a better offer. After 2 seasons he settled in one club and played in [Asian Champions League](/source/Asian_Champions_League) also played 26 games in 2008–9 season for [Saipa](/source/Saipa_F.C.).Then he joined [Steel Azin](/source/Steel_Azin_F.C.) and spent two seasons before joining [Rah Ahan](/source/Rah_Ahan_Tehran_F.C.) in 2011 where he joined his beloved coach [Ali Daei](/source/Ali_Daei) where they fall apart after Kaebi failed to attend few training sessions on time and he decided to leave and move to [Sanat Naft](/source/Sanat_Naft_F.C.) in January 2013 where he stayed for half a season and 6 months before joining [Esteghlal Khuzestan](/source/Esteghlal_Meli-Sanati_Khuzestan_F.C.) for [2013–14 season](/source/2012%E2%80%9313_Iran_Pro_League). After a short stint at [Sepidrood](/source/Sepidrood_Rasht_S.C.), he announced his retirement from football in December 2018.
