Most recently, the Persepolis GM was accused of cheating on Daei, according to Persepolis coach.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAn unknown person has telephoned the players and told them Persepolis is going to sign them up for the next the season. They (officials) have the right to negotiate for the next season but they must treat fairly,\u201d Ali Daei said on Tuesday in Persepolis\u2019 training session.<\/p>\n<p>Now, it\u2019s so hard for Kashani to make a decision about Daei. Persepolis needs to win Hazfi Cup title to secure a spot for the next season\u2019s AFC Champions League. On the other hand, a rift between him and Daei can cost the club to fail to claim the championship and Kashani then might be forced to sack Daei.<\/p>\n<p>Persepolis won its second title in the Iranian league three years ago under the managerial skills of Kashani. Japanese football club Shimizu S-Pulse\u2019s current coach Afshin Ghotbi inspired the Reds to win the title. Persepolis also crowned Hazfi Cup champions last season.<\/p>\n<p>But time has changed and Kashani is obliged to make a decision within next few days, as soon as possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MNA &#8211; TEHRAN, Ali Daei\u2019s future in Persepolis remains uncertain as he has revealed that&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22614,"featured_media":10869,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[87],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12164","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-c14-ipl-league-persian-gulf-cup"],"views":7035,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12164","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/22614"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12164"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12164\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10869"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12164"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12164"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.persianfootball.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12164"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
