Title: Persepolis Enters New Era: Osmar Vieira’s Strategic Overhaul for Title Ambitions
A New Direction at Persepolis
With the return of Osmar Vieira to the helm of Persepolis FC, a significant transformation is underway. This shift extends beyond mere tactics and technical approaches, signaling a period of strategic evolution for the celebrated “Reds.”
A Winter of Change
As the winter transfer window approaches, the club is poised for a period of decisive activity. Analysts note that the philosophy, methodology, and style preferred by Coach Vieira differ substantially from his predecessor, Yahya Golmohammadi. This change in leadership is expected to directly influence the club’s transfer strategy.
Targeted Reinforcements for Title Pursuit
In his initial assessment, Coach Vieira has identified key areas for reinforcement to build a squad capable of securing the Persian Gulf Pro League and Hazfi Cup titles. He has officially requested the acquisition of four new players to fill critical roles: a left-back, a right-back, a central midfielder, and a striker. These targeted signings are deemed essential for navigating the challenging second half of the season and outpacing league competitors.
Navigating the Squad List
A primary consideration in this transfer strategy is the limitation of available slots on the official squad list. Currently, Persepolis has only two vacant spots. Consequently, the club must facilitate the departure of several current players to accommodate new arrivals and adhere to league regulations.
Potential Departures
With the mid-season window just weeks away, developments during training sessions have brought the futures of certain players into focus. Reports suggest that three individuals—Farshad Ahmadzadeh, Mojtaba Fakhrian, and Yasin Salmani—are most likely to be made available for transfer. It is understood that Coach Vieira has repeatedly expressed his tactical requirements to the squad, and these players are considered to be heading the list of potential departures to make room for the desired new signings.
