Title: Persepolis Intensifies Search for New Head Coach, Eyeing South American Veterans
Tehran – The management of Persepolis Football Club is actively accelerating its efforts to appoint a new head coach to succeed Yahya Golmohammadi, with the aim of swiftly finalizing the leadership for the upcoming season.
Primary Target: A Familiar Face
According to sources close to the club, the primary candidate for the prestigious position is Osmar Loss Vieira, the Brazilian former coach of the team. Official negotiations have been initiated with Vieira, who previously led the Reds. However, a final agreement has not yet been reached, as the Brazilian tactician has not provided a definitive response to the club’s proposal. His potential return to the helm remains a central question in the ongoing search.
Contingency Plan: Argentine Option Emerges
In a parallel development, it has been confirmed that Persepolis officials have also held discussions with another former coach, Argentine Gabriel Calderón. Reports suggest the renowned manager is not opposed to the idea of a second stint with the Iranian giants. This indicates the club’s strategic approach to securing a high-profile, experienced manager for its ambitious future projects.
Strategic Negotiations Underway
While Osmar Vieira remains the top priority for the Persepolis board, the ongoing dialogue with Calderón signifies a clear contingency strategy. Should a final agreement with the Brazilian candidate prove unattainable, the club is prepared to engage in serious and focused negotiations with Calderón to ensure a seamless transition and strong leadership for the team.
