It’s time for me to step down, Persepolis GM Rouyanian says

Tehran Times – TEHRAN, Persepolis general manager Mohammad Rouyanian walked away from the popular Iranian club on Tuesday due to financial concerns.

Rouyanian also wrote a letter to say farewell to Persepolis fans.

“I would like to say a few words to you. I would like to kindly inform you that I want to quit the club. It’s hard to write a goodbye letter, but it’s time for me to step down,” Rouyanian wrote.

“I did my best since I was appointed as Persepolis general manager two years ago. Many thanks to all the staff, players, and fans who supported me during my career at the club,” he added.
