PTV - The AFC
Champions League 2007 finalist Sepahan F.C. has sacked Brazilian coach
Jorvan Vieira due to a series of disappointing results.
Just four months after signing a deal with the Iranian club, Vieira agreed
to depart.
After a meeting with the managing director of Sepahan, Mohammad-Reza Saket,
it was announced that the sides had reached an agreement on a compensation
package.
Sepahan was defeated in both the Asian Champions League and the Hazfi Cup (a
knockout competition for Iranian soccer teams).
The Isfahan-based outfit lost the Iranian Premier League (IPI) title on the
last day of the tournament.
Tehran's Persepolis was then crowned as the champion in May after defeating
Sepahan 2-1 with a late-goal by defender Sepehr Heidari.
