Sometimes I feel like Iranian teams hire any foreign coach for the sake of them being foreign.

This.

This Calderon won't help us much, seems old and out of decent connection in West Europe for friendlies or euro transfer. Won't have coverage (compare with Stramacionni and all the italian outlet speaking about SS). His CV isn't very impressive and quite old (outdated?).

It's telling that PER signed Calderon for only 1 year.

I don't think he will last even that long.

But I hope I am wrong!

[Leicester City]

LOL u say Asian Champions league final as if he was a back to back victor or something. This guy took a pretty good team to the Asian CL final ONCE... in 2009!!! Hell Zob Ahan made it to the Asian CL final in 2010...

I wanted Massimo Carrera, you know this. I don’t know anything about Calderon and whatever I did know was because of 5 minute little research on Wikipedia and asking Ardalan who is Argentinian. I know for a fact Carrera would have been a good choice because he’s a reputable manager, now he’s linked to PAOK since we did not capitalize on getting him.

Are Alipour and Beiranvand staying?

Are Alipour and Beiranvand staying?

Zulte didn't send the payement before PP's deadline. so far he is staying.

Carrera would've been a much better choice than Calderon...

He knows how to coach better than any of those you named. His teams play great football.

[Dortmund]

So Beiranvand and Alipour are staying. Also Naderi and Shekari are coming to Perepolis...

[Ardalan]

Zulte didn't send the payement before PP's deadline. so far he is staying.

Zulte pishnahadesh 700,000 Euro bood, na?

Khondam ke PP 1M Euro mikhast.

Man ham hamnazaram, karnaameye Calderón jaaleb nist, tanha chizi ke shayad mitone Calderón raa nejaat bede ine ke migan footbaale khobi amozesh mide.

All I can say about Calderon is that he sure loves that oil money lol.
After getting bounced around several Arab clubs, Perspolis is a good way for him to get his stock back up (similar to Branko)

Perspolis did good to only do a 1 year deal in case he does bad, they won't have to owe him anything after this season.

Also, don't be surprised to see Branko back at Perspolis in the future. Al Ahli is a high demanding club and if he doesn't produce results in the league/ACL then he'll get canned and quickly run back to Iran to collect some easy checks

I don't want to exaggerate or anything, but I feel like Reza Shekari will be the second coming of Ali Karimi!

[naderb94]

I don't want to exaggerate or anything, but I feel like Reza Shekari will be the second coming of Ali Karimi!

That's a heavy reach, but if he becomes even half of Ali Karimi, then he's a success.

Don't forget he is already 21 years old and hasn't shown us much on a club or TM level

[Iranianarsenal11]

I don't want to exaggerate or anything, but I feel like Reza Shekari will be the second coming of Ali Karimi!

Lol thats a big reach.. We can all dream but thats a big big dream

[inarsenewetrust]

I don't want to exaggerate or anything, but I feel like Reza Shekari will be the second coming of Ali Karimi!

their playing styles are not similar at all.
