The chairman of the Persepolis club board, Darvish, has no intention to resign.
Hossein Shahriari, regarding the incidents involving Reza Darvish, the CEO of Persepolis club, on the Football Bartar program and the criticisms he faced for using a certain phrase, stated that every success has its consequences, and they throw stones at a moving train, especially when the train is moving fast. Mr. Darvish, in that interview, did not intend to insult the good people of Gilan. With the personality I know of him, he was not pursuing such a matter at all, and he made a verbal mistake for a moment and, of course, he also apologized.
The chairman of the Persepolis club board, regarding the ethics committee’s ruling on Darvish and his 20-day suspension until the final verdict is announced, said we currently have no opinion on this until we hold a board meeting and review the issues.
Regarding whether it would have been better if the makers of the Football Bartar program had not put the managers of Esteghlal and Persepolis against each other, he said, I have no opinion on this. We examine our own work fundamentally.
Shahriari, regarding the rumor from yesterday that Darvish is set to be dismissed from his position, said there is no such thing at all, and such a thing is not possible.
