The former Team Melli Captain who was appointed as Team Melli Manager by the FFIRI on April 2015 , has submitted his resignation to Ali Kaffashian.

In a public announcement , Peyrovani has confirmed that his resignation was submitted on 13th February but has not received a response yet. Peyrovani claims that he was verbally told to stay by Kaffashian.

Afshin Peyrovani cited lack of resources as a major reason for his resignation, but also said that dignity and self-respect has made him decide that he is no more able to work with Team Melli.

Technically speaking , Peyrovani has no contract with FFIRI. It is not clear if he has received any payment for his work or was it voluntary basis. Peyrovani is a staunch supporter of Carlos Queiroz, however , his appointment was only approved by the Portuguese coach conditional to Peyrovani’s non-interference in technical matters. His job was purely administrative. 

Peyrovani accused the federation of not providing proper resources for Team Mell thus echoing what Queiroz is complaining about. He was also bitter about not being offered a proper employment contract since he started work on April last year.
