Contract Impasse: Hashemian and Persepolis Headed for Legal Mediation
A New Manager, An Old Contract
Following the official appointment of Ośmar Vieira as the new head coach of Persepolis FC, club officials have initiated efforts to mutually terminate the contract of his predecessor, Vahid Hashemian. The move is a standard procedure to clear the way for the new technical team to take full control of the squad.
Negotiations Hit a Wall
Despite the club’s efforts, an agreement has proven elusive. Reports indicate that Vahid Hashemian has so far been unwilling to accept the terms presented by the Persepolis board, creating a new point of contention between the two parties.
The Sticking Point: Financial Settlement
The core of the dispute appears to be financial. It is understood that Persepolis has offered to pay less than fifty percent of the remaining value on Hashemian’s contract. This proposed settlement has been rejected by the former coach, who is reportedly seeking different terms.
The Legal Pathway
With neither side showing a willingness to concede, the resolution of Hashemian’s departure is likely to be moved to football’s judicial bodies. This legal step becomes necessary when direct negotiations between a club and an employee reach a deadlock, ensuring a regulated and fair process for both institutions and individuals involved, in accordance with the sport’s governing statutes.
