According to Mehr reporter, the Persepolis football team was supposed to start training today Wednesday after a two-day holiday, when a 10% fine from the club caused them to go on strike, so that Yahya Golmohamadi and his players stayed in the locker room of Shahid Kazemi Stadium and the team do not practice
The head coach of Persepolis was supposed to repeat his harsh stance against Reza Darwish, the CEO of the club, in an interview with reporters, but the more than two-hour meeting with the players caused him to cancel the talk with the media.
In a meeting held between the players of the team, the head coach of Persepolis emphasized his previous positions regarding the unprofessional behavior of the club’s CEO. Also, a number of experienced players of this team such as Omid Alishah, Alireza Biranvand and Soroush Rafiei spoke about the situation and considered the team’s decision to be respectable.
In this meeting, several old players said that two members of the board of directors have expressed their opposition to the fine, but the majority vote approved this issue.
An issue that intensified the opposition to Darvish’s continued presence as the CEO of Persepolis, but since the players and coaches cannot make such a decision to remove the CEO, they must wait for the decision of the board of directors to continue the activities of the CEO of the club.
A process that shows that Persepolis players have demands beyond the 10% penalty and want Darvish to leave the club’s CEO to be replaced by someone who has more support for the team.
Persepolis players will most likely resume their training from tomorrow, Thursday, but they have rejected the offer to talk with the CEO and will be willing to sit around a table with Darvish only if this fine is forgiven.
