Arab, who was previously working as deputy chief of the club’s administrative and financial affairs, was named as acting general manager of Persepolis in December and he has been chosen as the Club GM on Wednesday.

Arab replaced Hamid Reza Garshasbi in the football club.

Garshasbi left his post due to a law barring the employment of retirees in government, state or public institutions which use state funds or facilities.

Under management of Garshasbi, Persepolis became runner-up at the 2018 AFC Champions League and won the Iran Professional League title.
