Market

Pejman Moharrami asks to leave Rah Ahan

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Squad

Tempers go at Rah Ahan

Amirreza Changalvaei was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

Words at Rah Ahan training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Mohammad Naderi is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The dugout

Ramin Ghoddos gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Looking ahead

The leaders are next for Rah Ahan

Persepolis top the table and they are coming into view. Nothing to lose, which is what every manager says before losing.

Looking ahead

A reunion for Mohammad Naderi

He used to wear the other shirt. On Saturday he plays against Persepolis in this one, and whatever he says this week about it being just another game will be untrue.

Market

Ali Vafaei linked with a move away

The name of Ali Vafaei keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Rah Ahan say nothing, which says plenty.

The dugout

Ehsan Torabi asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

The dugout

The manager makes Pejman Beiranvand a promise

Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at Rah Ahan. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.

Boardroom

Kaveh Hosseini has until the next board meeting

What was said behind closed doors has now been said in front of a microphone. Everybody at Rah Ahan can do the arithmetic, including the man it is aimed at.

Squad

48 days out for Karim Gholizadeh after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Rah Ahan will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Boardroom

The Rah Ahan board call everybody in

Nothing has been announced and everybody understands what it means. A board that summons the whole football department on a Tuesday morning is a board that has stopped believing the problem will fix itself.

Squad

Tempers go at Rah Ahan

Amir Karimi was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

Saeid Irankhah stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Saeid Irankhah and Rah Ahan agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Rah Ahan count the cost of losing Amit David

17 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Market

Talks stall between Rah Ahan and Mohammad Alinejad

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Boardroom

Rah Ahan sign 6 boys into the academy

None of them will be seen by anybody outside the training ground for three years, most of them will never play a senior match, and one of them might change the club. That is the whole proposition, and it is why academies exist.

The dugout

The manager's exit leaves Mohammad Alinejad exposed

Every squad has men who were signed by a particular manager and men who were merely inherited. Mohammad Alinejad is in the first group, and the man who wanted him here is no longer in the building.
