Team Melli and Persepolis goalkeeper , Sousha Makani has been kicked out of Persepolis team and told not to report back for training by his coach Hamid Derakhshan.

Before Persepolis’ yesterday’s match in the league ( Friday) , Makani indulged in a strong argument with the coach protesting the decision by  Derakhshan to play Masoud Homami in goal. Makani , notorious for his indiscipline , left the team in protest after failing to win his case. The Match against Rah Ahan ended 2-2.

During the post match press conference, Derakhshan announced that Makani will never return to Persepolis while he (Derakhshan) is the coach. “Makani left the squad without permission because I have not picked him for the match. This is not the first time that I had to deal with such transgression by the player. It is exhausting me and increasing the stress level. There is far too much indisciplined around here, but let it be known to all. I will not allow Makani to come back to the team. If they insist on him , I will leave the team.”

Mahmoud Khordbin , Persepolis Team Manager , while expressing his anger and deep disappointment with Makani’s misbehavior, confirmed that the goalkeeper has no place in Persepolis anymore as far as he is concerned.

Makani has been performing quite poorly of late for Persepolis. He has conceded several easy goals in the league and the AFC Champions’ league which was contributory to his teams losses. However and shockingly for that, Carlos Queiroz has selected him  for Team Melli squad that played two friendlies in Europe ahead of Rahman Ahmadi and others!
