Rewritten Title: A New Era for Persepolis: Osmar’s Arrival Sparks Tactical Speculation
Article:
A Managerial Transition in Tehran
In a significant development for one of Iran’s most prominent football clubs, Osmar Viera is set to arrive in Tehran to officially assume the role of head coach for Persepolis FC. The Brazilian manager’s much-anticipated arrival marks the beginning of a new chapter for the “Red Army,” as he prepares to take over the reins from the previous coach, Vahid Hashemian.
His journey to the capital has been a long one, with a final leg from Doha to Tehran cementing his commitment to the club.
Navigating the Final Hurdles
While excitement builds, the official commencement of Viera’s tenure hinges on the final resolution of contractual matters with his predecessor. Club officials have indicated that the formal registration of Viera’s contract can only proceed once the club’s agreement with Vahid Hashemian is conclusively settled, potentially through a mutual termination.
Despite this procedural step, the club is moving forward with integration plans. Ali Inanloo, a club official, confirmed Viera’s imminent presence on the sidelines for the upcoming match against Tractor FC. “Mr. Osmar is on his way to Iran,” Inanloo stated. “He is scheduled to arrive, rest, be officially unveiled, and then accompany the team to Tabriz.”
When asked about the new coach’s specific role in that game, Inanloo clarified, “He will be with the team, whether he is on the bench or in the stands.”
Building a Backroom Team
Preparations for Viera’s technical staff are also underway. The club has proactively sent a list of potential assistant coaches for his review and approval. “He will have three assistants,” Inanloo explained. “Mr. Osmar must arrive first, and then he will make the final decision. Mr. Bagheri and other members of the club are pleased with Osmar’s arrival.”
This strategic appointment is being closely watched, as Persepolis seeks to solidify its standing and pursue its objectives in the domestic league under fresh, international leadership.
