[97483] Storm on the sidelines at Persepolis: Osmar Loss leaves, Dragan Skočić approaches

Shake-up at Persepolis: Approaching a parting with Osmar

In the last 24 hours, the Iranian sports media has been buzzing around the future of Persepolis coach, Osmar Loss. According to reports in ورزش سه, کانال هواداران پرسپولیس ایران, and کانال فوتبال برتر ࡆ لیگ برتر 360, Loss is expected to officially end his tenure within the next 24 hours. The reports emphasize that the Brazilian coach chose to part ways amicably and without legal proceedings against the club.

At the same time, جام جهانی 2026 | فوتبال 180 note that Loss's departure stems from a combination of personal difficulties and higher salary demands, which the funding body, "Shahr Bank," opposed. While some sources present a picture of an imminent replacement, فوتبال ۳۶۰ presents a more complex angle, reporting on difficulties in negotiations held in Istanbul, and notes that the contacts with Dragan Skočić have encountered a temporary stalemate.

The reports regarding Skočić are somewhat divided: while sources such as آخرین خبر ورزشی report that the disputes over the length of the contract (one year plus one year) and "force majeure" clauses are on the way to a resolution, اخبار کوتاه ورزشی presents contradictions in its reports, first claiming a dispute over the duration of the engagement and then reporting on an agreement for two years.

In addition to the changes on the sidelines, Persepolis is in intense negotiations to strengthen the squad. According to آخرین خبر ورزشی, the club is holding talks with Ali Alipour regarding the terms of his contract, and is also examining options for signing additional players such as Mehdi Tikdari and Kasra Taheri, alongside attempts to appoint Khodadad Azizi to a managerial role on the professional staff.
