Title: A New Era for Persepolis: Major Leadership Overhaul Reshapes Tehran’s Football Giant
In a significant move signaling a new strategic direction, Persepolis Football Club, one of Iran’s most prominent sports institutions, has initiated a comprehensive restructuring of its management team.
A Change at the Helm
The transformation began with the official appointment of Peyman Haddadi as the club’s new Chief Executive Officer, following the departure of his predecessor, Reza Darvish. This leadership change marks a pivotal moment for the “Reds” of Tehran as they seek to fortify the club’s administrative and sporting foundations.
Potential Shift in Team Supervision
Further developments point to potential changes within the team’s supervisory structure. Reports from within the club suggest a possible conclusion to the long-standing tenure of Afshin Peyrovani as the team supervisor. Sources indicate that the new management is considering this change as part of a broader effort to revitalize the team’s operational framework.
A Familiar Face in the Running
In a move that would resonate with the club’s supporters, former Persepolis star and fan favorite, Mohsen Khalili, has emerged as a leading candidate for a key administrative role. Khalili, a former striker and top scorer for the club, is reportedly being considered for one of two positions: either to succeed Peyrovani as the new team supervisor or to return to his former role as the club’s Deputy for Sports Affairs. In the latter scenario, another figure, Mohammad Ansari, is being discussed as a potential candidate for the supervisor position.
These deliberations highlight the club’s intent to blend experience with fresh perspectives. The potential return of Khalili, a figure deeply connected to the club’s history, is seen as a strategic step to strengthen internal cohesion and align the management with the club’s celebrated legacy.
As these discussions continue within the walls of the Persepolis headquarters, the football community awaits the final decisions that will define the club’s leadership structure for the upcoming season.
