Mustafa Moteddin has been introduced as a serious candidate for the CEO position of Esteghlal Club, a candidate who, if accepted, could pave a new path for this club. However, alongside him, Seyyed Mirshad Majidi, the president of the Tehran Football Association and former caretaker of the Football Federation, is in important negotiations for this position.
Legal Obstacles in Majidi's Path
Majidi faces a legal obstacle in accepting the CEO offer from Esteghlal. According to existing regulations, he cannot simultaneously be the president of the Tehran Football Association and the CEO of a Tehran club. Therefore, if he accepts this position, it is essential for him to resign from the presidency of the Tehran Football Association. This point highlights the complexities present in sports management in Iran and could have implications for the future of Esteghlal.

Majidi's Conditions for Managing Esteghlal
Majidi is not only facing legal obstacles; he has also set specific conditions for accepting the CEO position of Esteghlal. One of his most important conditions is to have full authority in all managerial matters of the club. Majidi has also emphasized that if he joins Esteghlal, he must remain in the CEO position for at least three years without changes. These conditions reflect Majidi's serious determination to implement his plans and achieve success at the Asian level.
Ali Tajernia's presence in the management structure of Esteghlal could be one of the main obstacles to realizing these demands. Given these circumstances, it seems that Majidi will not be willing to accept this position without full authority and a guarantee of a three-year tenure.
Now, it remains to be seen whether the decision-makers of Esteghlal Club will agree to the conditions proposed by Majidi or if negotiations with other candidates will continue. The current situation of Esteghlal and its fate depends on future decisions, and we must wait to see where these negotiations will lead.
