Brazilian coach Osmar Loss Vieira parted company with the Iranian team last week. He led Persepolis to the title in the 2023-24 Iran Professional League (IPL) but did not agree to extend his deal due to family problems.
The 49-year-old coach had been appointed as Persepolis coach in January as a replacement for Yahya Golmohammadi.
Former Iran football team head coach Dragan Skocic, Croatia’s Petar Segrt and Montenegrin coach Nebojsa Jovovic are also among the candidates to lead Persepolis.
Michniewicz, 54, has most recently worked as head coach of Saudi Arabian football club Abha Football Club.
