Title: Brazilian Coach Osmar Veira Denies Talks with Iranian Club Persepolis
In his first official statement since his sudden departure from Thai club Buriram United, Brazilian coach Osmar Veira has firmly dismissed rumors linking him to a managerial position with the prominent Iranian football club, Persepolis.
A Firm Denial of Speculation
Addressing the swirling media reports, Veira explicitly stated that he has not engaged in any discussions with Iranian officials or media representatives. “I have not spoken with anyone in Iran,” the coach confirmed, putting a definitive end to the speculation about an immediate move to the Persian Gulf Pro League.
Focus on a Return Home
Following the conclusion of his contract, Veira outlined his immediate plans, which focus on personal time and a return to his home country. “I recently ended my contract, and in the next few days, I will return to Brazil,” he announced, signaling a clear break from his recent professional commitments in Asia.
Navigating a “Crazy” Transition
When questioned about his unexpected exit from Buriram United—a move that sent shockwaves through Thai football—Veira acknowledged the inherent unpredictability of the sport. “In football, change happens,” he remarked, adding a personal note on the intensity of the situation: “I will rest, especially since everything in the last two days has been so crazy.”
This statement from the Brazilian tactician provides clarity on his current status, effectively closing the door, for now, on a potential chapter with one of Iran’s most storied football institutions.
