According to the sports reporter of Tasnim news agency, the 22nd season of the Premier League ended with the championship of Persepolis, and naturally the teams should start thinking about their next season. This is despite the fact that after the end of the season, the only task of the head coach of the two teams is clear. If we compare these cases with the English Premier League, where the assignment of Tottenham’s bench and the few teams that were relegated to the lower division is not clear at the moment, the statistics seem a bit worrying. Of course, in Iranian football, the uncertainty of the amount of funding from government-affiliated sponsors and the noticeable difference in the budget of private teams always delays the solution of equations. Anyway, this issue became an excuse to talk about the latest situation of the coaches of the Premier League teams:
Persepolis
Even after winning the championship, the duty of Yahya Golmohammadi to continue working with Persepolis is not clear. There were so many speculations about the future of the coach of the Persians that minutes after winning the FA Cup, reporters asked the CEO of Persepolis about the cooperation status of the technical staff of Persepolis in the 22nd season of the league. Yahya after three seasons in Persepolis, if he chooses to leave, like Farhad Majidi, he will follow the “leave at the top and stay popular” option. At the same time, you do not feel the pressure of the championship on your shoulders. If it lasts, it will naturally increase the chances of receiving more facilities with these speculations. Of course, Reza Darwish, CEO of Persepolis club, clearly emphasized on the continuation of Golmohammadi’s presence in this team last night in the top football program.
Esteghlal
Esteghlal’s Acting CEO Karimi’s words after the defeat in the FA Cup were an important sign of his reluctance to work with Ricardo Sapinto again. The Portuguese coach, who was banned many times during the season, has been banned for four months in his latest disciplinary order. With these words and currency issues, it is unlikely that he will have a chance to continue working with the blue-collared players. Currently, the chance of Iranian coaches to reach the blue-clad bench is more than ever. Javad Nekunam and Seyed Mehdi Rahmati are mentioned as the options to lead Esteghlal.
Mes Rafsanjan
Pourmohammadi, CEO of Mes Rafsanjan, had previously told Tasnim that they are waiting to determine the budget status of Mes Rafsanjan Club, and Mohammad Rabiei is the first choice to lead this team. In the meantime, the important issue is the expectation of winning the Champions League quota from the future head coach of Naranjiposhan Rafsanjani. Naturally, every head coach, upon hearing this expectation, demands a corresponding amount of budget. Moharram Navidkia, Javad Nekonam and Saket Elhami are mentioned as the next options to lead this team. Of course, Rabiei’s position is currently strong in Mes Rafsanjan’s team, and if no agreement is reached, it will definitely be on his side.
Golghar Sirjan
In the middle of the 22nd season, Ghalenoui went to the national football team, and the results of Sirjanis during the time of the head coach of Elhowi caused an official apology from the Golgohar club to the fans of this team. The managers of this club promised to try to get better results for the next season by choosing a strong head coach. We have not forgotten that when Amir Qalanewi was faced with disciplinary suspension and not being allowed to be on the Golgohar bench in 1400, Javad Nekonam was one of the serious options to lead the turquoise-clad Sirjan Desert. Along with Javad Nekonam, Mohammad Rabiei and a Greek coach are mentioned as options to lead this team. Although Marius Ozonidos has the experience of managing AAK Athens, Panionios, Apoel, etc., he has faced a little difficulty for Golgohar managers to sign the contract after the notification of the first vice president about the prohibition of signing dollar contracts with foreign coaches and players. (Read the details of this law here.)
Khoozestan steel
Mansourian has faced a serious challenge with some of the fans who criticize Foulad and they want to remove this coach by forming virtual campaigns. Mansoorian’s performance in recent years as a coach has not been so positive that he wants to rely on it, and Foulad fans want to hire a foreign coach, but it seems that Foulad managers willy-nilly have to continue working with their current head coach, but the team that last season in the Transfers attracted many famous players, the result was the seventh place in the table.
Aluminum Arak
Mehdi Rahmati left the club after a meeting with the directors of Arak Aluminum Club. Mehdi Tartar and Siddmjatbi Hosseini are mentioned as options to lead this team. In the last few years, Tartar has not been able to make a special achievement in the Premier League and has repeatedly announced that he is looking for a team with better financial conditions and facilities.
Isfahan steel company
The task of the head coach of Sabzeposhan for the next season has not yet been clarified, but Mehdi Tartar has almost zero chance in this case, because the opinion of the managers of the Zob Ahn factory is influential in choosing the head coach of the Zob Ahn club. The managers of this factory and, accordingly, the club, want to sign a cooperation contract with a coach other than Tartar and preferably familiar with Joe Isfahan. In such a situation, Qassem Haddadifar has a very high chance to lean on Zob Ahn’s bench, although Haddadifar has not worked as a head coach yet, he is considered one of the popular people in Zob Ahn. Former Van Pars head coach Mojtaba Teutoni and former Fajr head coach Mehdi Rajabzadeh have little chance to work with Zob Ahn.
fan
It is a multi-season private club that is in the Premier League with minimal and managed expenses. Managers of this club try to use motivated and young coaches, because experienced coaches demand more wages and expenses. In this situation, Mahmoud Fekri, who worked in Saipa and League 1 last season, is considered an important option. Of course, until the agreement is made official, it cannot be considered definitive. In fact, Havadar is an option for coaches like Tartar and Hosseini to spend one season in this team if they don’t have a good offer from the Premier League.
the arrow
Pikan is one of the few player factories in the country that operates in the Premier League. The priority of Pikan managers is cooperation with Mojtaba Hosseini, but he is considered one of the options to lead the automakers. It seems that Saeed Zahi, who has worked with Pikan in various positions, has a great chance to work with this team. It remains to be seen when the task of the head coach of this team will be clarified.
Sailor of Bandar Anzali
After the end of the 22nd season, although Maziar Zare kept his team in the Premier League, he preferred to leave. One of the biggest problems of this club is the amount of budget and little spending that it does in the league. When the issue of the budget ceiling was raised, the name of Selvan was mentioned as the least expensive club in the league. The uncertain situation of the sailors may be clarified by determining the status of the club management.
Ghaemshahr textile
Nasaji started the 22nd season with Hamid Motahari and finished it with Carlos Hernandez. Both head coaches could not achieve the desired results of the fans and managers of this northern team. In such a situation and in the final weeks of the league, Saket Elhami was mentioned as the new head coach of Nasaji. However, currently the closest option to the textile bench is Seyed Mehdi Rahmati, who terminated his contract with Aluminum. Anyway, Nasaji’s presence in the Asian Champions League can be an attractive option for young coaches.
Abadan oil industry
The Brazilians of Iranian football did not have a good start in the 22nd season and were in danger of relegation to the first division league until the last weeks. In the meantime, Vesey’s presence helped them a lot and a dramatic ending took place. However, after the end of the season, the members of the board of directors of Sanat Naft Club resigned and the role of this team is still unclear. Veisi seems to be the most serious option to lead the Abadan oil industry, but he plans to consider the budget and other issues to continue the cooperation.
Shams Azar Qazvin
This team, under the guidance of Saeed Dahiki and 13 points difference from Esteghlal Khuzestan (the second team in the table), advanced to the Premier League, but at the end of the season, Saeed Dahiki resigned from continuing cooperation with the representative of Qazvin province by publishing a text. It seems that financial issues are the most important doubt for continuing cooperation with Shams Azar Qazvin. Nevertheless, Shams Azar’s first option is to cooperate with Zahiqi. If the project of continued cooperation between Shams Azar and Zahiqi faces a dead end for any reason, Maziar Zare is one of the other serious options that can be close to Shams Azar’s bench.
Independence of Khuzestan
Once upon a time, this team, under the title of Leicester of Iran, won the championship of the Iranian Premier League and surprised many. However, the problem of funding and financial support brought this team to League One. They returned to the Premier League again with Siros Pormusoi. In such a situation, Pormusovi is naturally the most serious option to lead the independence of Khuzestan. This head coach is waiting for the amount of the club’s budget to be clarified and to decide to continue the cooperation. What is clear is that this team intends to appear in the Premier League by using the native potential of Khuzestan province.
Among the teams of the Premier League, only Sepahan Isfahan and Tractor Tabriz will definitely play next season with Jose Morais and Pako Khums in the upcoming season.
