Yahya Gol Mohammadi, the head coach of Persepolis football team, who is protesting the delay in his payments, has reportedly left the country. It was previously announced that Gol Mohammadi had terminated his contract, but officials from Persepolis insist that he is still under contract. Sources close to the Persepolis coach reported three days ago about the unilateral termination of Gol Mohammadi's contract. The head coach has not participated in recent friendly matches and training sessions of the team. Persepolis officials labeled the news of Gol Mohammadi's resignation as 'media mischief' and stated it is not true. Meanwhile, officials from the Football Federation, including Farshid Taheri, the transfer official of the Iranian Premier League, claimed that the coach's contract has not been terminated as of now. A meeting was supposed to be held between Gol Mohammadi and the Persepolis management, but his agent stated that Gol Mohammadi has gone abroad. Gol Mohammadi owns properties in the United Arab Emirates and has a history of traveling abroad. Although Persepolis and Football Federation officials are trying to deny the news of Gol Mohammadi's departure, it seems that this protest goes beyond the head coach of Persepolis. On Thursday, Persepolis players boycotted training in protest of not receiving their payments. Recently, Persepolis has also faced point deductions due to violations. Concurrently with last year's protests in Iran, Yahya Gol Mohammadi reported increased pressure and threats against him for supporting the protesters in Iran.
