Title: Hashemian’s Staff Shakeup: Persepolis and Assistant Coach Part Ways
A Shift in the Technical Team
In a recent development at Persepolis Football Club, the club and Michael Oenning, the first assistant to head coach Vahid Hashemian, have mutually agreed to part ways. This conclusion comes after initial discussions regarding a financial settlement for the termination of his contract reached an impasse. Reports indicate that a resolution was found whereby Oenning is expected to tender his resignation, a move anticipated to be finalized shortly.
A Changing Role
Oenning, a coach with prior experience managing in Germany’s Bundesliga, saw his responsibilities within the Persepolis structure significantly reduced following the arrival of manager Osmar. His diminished role was recently highlighted by his absence from the team bench during a key match and his exclusion from the traveling squad for an upcoming fixture, where he instead remained in Tehran to conduct training sessions with other squad players.
An Amicable Departure
Sources close to the matter suggest that the German coach, seeking a resolution to the situation, has communicated his willingness to adjust his initial financial demands to facilitate a smooth and agreed-upon departure from the club. This marks a shift from his earlier position and paves the way for an orderly transition within the technical staff of the popular Tehran-based club.
