Alami: Esteghlal could have had a good end, but instability hit hard

In an interview with Fars news agency’s sports reporter, Iman Alami said about Esteghlal Sapinto’s performance in the past season: Sapinto tried to create good conditions in the team from a technical point of view. They played good games and started a good process at times. The team was in the championship course and the fans were relatively satisfied. They won the Super Cup and reached the finals in the elimination cup.

He added: In general, this season could have ended well for Esteghlal, but in the discussion of management, we saw what happened and what effect it had on the team. 2 CEOs were changed, and finally Hojjat Karimi was able to manage big problems. I hope good things will happen to the club in the future.

The football expert stated: In recent years, the management has dealt severe blows to the club and has not allowed the team to be stable. In the past season, the technical work was very good. The team was attacking and we had people like Mohebi, Qaidi and Motahari in the offensive line who were very dangerous, but management issues, along with some incidents on the bench or refereeing problems, affected the team’s conditions. The most important thing was foreign debts and we saw what a big problem Stramaccioni created. All these issues made independence to go through its own process as it should.

Former Esteghlal midfielder said about the issue of choosing a new head coach of this team: Sapinto performed well and the fans were interested in him. Although he had morals that would destroy the bench, if the conditions for continued cooperation were provided, he would have been a better option. Now, with the events that have happened and the discussion of contract ceilings, it has definitely become more difficult for many good foreign coaches to work in Iran. However, there are very good coaches out there who can help. In my opinion, inspired silence can be the best choice. We cannot say that the internal option is not a good option and I hope that a justified choice will be made.

Alami said regarding the new managerial changes of Esteghlal Club: I must congratulate Hojjat Karimi and wish him success. In the 2-3 months he has been in charge of the club, he has shown that he has the ability to manage. Considering the introduction of two new members of the board of directors, I think the next person who will be added to complete the composition of the board of directors is the technical member.

He said about the repeated names and back exam for the CEO of Esteghlal Club: In the last few years, a cycle has been happening continuously and because of this, the club has not had the necessary stability. I hope there will be stability in the management field. The rival team (Perspolis) has been working steadily in these few years and in different situations, both during Bronco’s time and now, which has led to its success. I believe that the names that are mentioned are mostly for the personal benefit of a few people, and the people whose names are mentioned are not in this space.

Alami continued: When a person is elected, everyone should help him to create stability and success. Whenever we start, we win. Now the new management has come and has performed well, it should be supported. The most important concern of all of us is the name of independence. It must be planned in every way for its success.
