Ali Alizadeh said in an interview with the Tasnim news agency’s sports reporter whether his resignation was agreed to in Mes Rafsanjan club or not: We wrote and gave the resignation. No one called us after that. Our resignation must have been accepted because they didn’t call.
He continued: “Change and transformation is the right of every club, but we have worked hard for this club for three and a half years so that the team can reach here and be among the top six teams in the country.” Mes Rafsanjan used to be a team, now it has become a club and we have nearly 12 teams. Honestly, who will touch the winning team? This is a risk. This is a big question mark for me; Why did the management of Mes Club change?
In response to the question whether he could not work with the new CEO of Mes Club, the former vice president of Rafsanjan Mes Club said: I resigned on the first day when Mr. Pourmohammadi came and he did not accept and said that we will make a decision. After that he went to make a decision! Definitely, if they wanted to continue cooperation, they would have called. We worked hard for this club for four years and brought it to the first level of the country. This incident has become a big annoyance for me.
“Has the reason for the management changes not been announced to you?” Alizadeh clarified in response to this question: No! Why should the team that has achieved results be touched? Definitely, if they gave us a chance, we could get an Asian quota next year and maybe this year. They made so many sidelines for us that the team got annoyed. I don’t know what to say at all. We are sad that we have suffered for this club for nearly four years.
In response to the fact that Mohammad Rabiei also resigned from his position after the management changes, but he did not agree with the coach’s departure and returned to his work, he explained: No sane person would accept the resignation of his coach. Me, Mr. Zindini and Mohammad Rabiei were the three people who worked together and brought the club here. If Rabiei left the club, the team would be on the sidelines. The new management of the club is also a very good person, but my point is that now was not the time for changes. Rabiei has also resigned two or three times during this period, but they did not accept his resignation.
The former vice president of Mes Rafsanjan Club responded to the fact that during their management, it was always said that this club spent a lot of money to attract players. We have nothing to do with the bottom of the table; Bring all the contracts. The contract of our three foreign players is 650,000 dollars together, I will negotiate the contracts. A foreign player of a certain team has a contract of 800 thousand dollars! We were one of the best and cheapest teams. If the executive institutions allow it, we have no say and we will publish all our contracts. Many clubs followed our example in these few years. I dare to say that after the revolution, the only club that built seven natural grasses, a hall, an apartment hotel and all these facilities in one club is Mes Rafsanjan. No province has such facilities.
Alizadeh added: One of the principles of Mes Rafsanjan was good financial order and everyone envied this order. We didn’t have a lot of money, but we were in good financial order. That’s why we were successful in these few years. Many clubs observed us closely and imitated us. Rabiei is the only Premier League coach who has been stable for four years.
“Do you feel that with the separation of the previous management team, the club will have a downward trend?”, he said in response to this question: “God forbid this happens.” The reason we are sad now is that the club does not go back. We entrusted the trust to the new managers and I pray to God that they will be good trustees so that the next team will be successful. Currently, Mr. Pourmohammadi has a difficult job. We have 12 Premier League teams; Rafsanjan has a total of 300,000 people and it has all the top league teams, which means we worked in the club. All the coaches of our premier league, except football, are natives. Which province can do this?
