I don't think it requires much football intelligentsia to figure out Perspolis dismal performance.
To start with, the management a.k.a. Rouyanian , has put the cart in front of the horse. He bought his players, and then selected the coach!!!! The team was training without a coach until a couple of weeks before the league. I remember the players were saying that there is NO ISSUE at all with training without a coach …Heh !!…Can you imagine such mentality in football ?? One of players , I think it was Mohammad Nouri , was so cheeky and complacent to say “Other teams should only fight amongst themselves for the second spot in the table , because we are going to be the champions”…..Yeah..Right!
I have been convinced for a long time now that excellence in sport and football, starts in the mind and mindset. In football, sometimes the right mentality is even more important than the physical skill because with the best skills a player has, he needs the brains and the approach to use it in timely and efficient manner.
Anyway , Perspolis as an organization , has many issues to sort out. It has reached a crises stage to a degree that a whole new team of stars, would not automatically achieve any significant result.
