Shake-up and changes in the management of Esteghlal Football Club

After a period of uncertainty at the Iranian giant club, Ali Taghjar-Nia stood before the media to dispel rumors surrounding the team's future. In a report by Varzesh 3, Taghjar-Nia stated categorically that there have been no negotiations with former coach Farhad Majidi or with player Alireza Beiranvand, a denial that also received widespread coverage on Footballi and other channels.

Regarding the financial and managerial situation of the team, Taghjar-Nia emphasized that the club has long been suffering from internal problems and disagreements, and he labeled the protest methods of some parties as "inappropriate" according to Varzesh 3. In addition, he noted that he is working with Mehdi Taj on the issue of the club structures of the two major teams in Tehran, Esteghlal and Persepolis.

Regarding the near future, Taghjar-Nia expressed cautious optimism about the opening of the club's transfer window within a few days, noting that most players at the club have valid contracts for two years. In the Esteghlal Fans Channel, which is identified with the team's fans, they responded with criticism of the management's high financial expenditures relative to the results on the field, while Taghjar-Nia emphasized that the club is focusing on its internal affairs and asks other teams to refrain from interfering in what is happening within their organization according to the fans' channel.
