The new turmoil is causing Esteghlal, the blue-clad team, to fall into a lower category.
Ali Fathollahzadeh’s negotiations with several good sponsors to pay Stramaccioni’s dues have been inconclusive.
The contracts of Esteghlal Club in the past two seasons have been signed in such a way that it has limited the club from signing a new sponsor. It is clear that during Ajorlou’s management, the club has signed exclusive contracts with several agents, which stipulate that Esteghlal cannot add a new sponsor to its collection. Therefore, the new turmoil has landed on Esteghlal Club to attract a new sponsor and has made the job harder for the blues.
