Fathollahzadeh announced resignation on his Instagram account.
“When I returned to Esteghlal, the team neither had a coach nor a general manager. I did my best for a better situation but I am accused of being here for myself and it’s while I’ve done everything for the fans so far. From now on, I am an Esteghlal fan and will not work as board of directors’ member,” Fathollahzadeh wrote on his Instagram.
Coach Andrea Stramaccioni left Esteghlal three weeks ago and has not yet returned to the club.
Esteghlal fans hoped that a solution can be found with the help of Fathollahzadeh.
