Title: Financial Dispute Emerges Between Persepolis FC and Former Manager Vahid Hashemian
A Managerial Shift and Financial Questions
A financial disagreement has arisen between Iranian football club Persepolis and its former head coach, Vahid Hashemian, following his recent dismissal. The club parted ways with Hashemian to reinstate Osmar Vieira, a managerial change that was widely anticipated as the season progressed.
The Core of the Disagreement
According to standard football regulations, when a coach is dismissed, the club is obligated to either reach a mutual financial settlement or pay out the full value of the remaining contract. Initially, reports suggested Persepolis was prepared to honor its financial commitments to the departed manager.
However, a dispute has since surfaced. It is reported that Persepolis has already paid Hashemian 15 billion Tomans and provided him with a post-dated cheque for an additional 35 billion Tomans. The disagreement centers on the form of this payment. While the club has issued the cheque, sources close to the situation indicate that Hashemian is insisting on receiving the full, outstanding amount as an immediate cash settlement following his termination, rather than waiting for the cheque to mature.
An Ongoing Dialogue
The resolution of this matter remains under discussion between the two parties. The future of the 35 billion Toman cheque and the final terms of the settlement are yet to be determined as both sides work towards an agreement.
