Abu Moslem accepts manager Misaqian resignation

MNA – Abu Moslem, an Iran Pro League club, Monday announced its agreement with the resignation of veteran trainer Akbar Misaqian.

The outspoken manager unexpectedly submitted his resignation Sunday, a day after his sweet 3-2 home victory over popular Persepolis at their league opener in Mashhad.

Misaqian was reported to have made the decision as a gesture of opposition to intervention in his job, but the coach scotched the rumor blaming fatigue for his submission.

Nasser Shafaq, the club managing director, appointed technical coach Mehdi Qiassi as the caretaker manager.
