Taheri replaced Hamid Reza Siasi in 2014 and Persepolis earned remarkable achievements under his leadership.
Persepolis claimed the title of Iran Professional League in the 2016-17 season after nine years.
The Iranian giants also advanced to the 2017 AFC Champions League final four for the first time and also are a favorite to win Iran’s Hazfi Cup title in the current season.
Persepolis are vying to defend their title in the current season as well.
