New disaster for the blue-clad Esteghlal as they face relegation to a lower division
Ali Fathollahzadeh’s negotiations with several good sponsors to pay Stramaccioni’s dues were fruitless
Esteghlal Club’s contracts over the past two seasons have been signed in such a way that they limit the club from signing a contract with a new sponsor. To be more specific, during Ajurlu’s management, Esteghlal signed exclusive contracts with several agents which stipulate that the club cannot add a new sponsor to its consortium. As a result, a new disaster has befallen Esteghlal Club regarding attracting a new sponsor, making things harder for the blues.
