According to Varzesh3.
Context
Qasem Shehba, after leading Mes Shahr-e Babak to a historic promotion, now finds himself at the helm of Mes Kerman, a club with a rich history in Iranian football. His challenge is to transform a struggling team, currently in 14th place in Lig-e Yek, into a competitive team capable of remaining in the division.
Why it matters
The appointment of Qasem Shehba as head of Mes Kerman is crucial for the club, which is fighting to avoid relegation to the Lig-e Yek. With only four points in eight games, the situation is alarming, and Shehba's experience could be decisive in redressing the situation. His previous success with Mes Shahr-e Babak, where he achieved a historic promotion, reinforces expectations around his new role.

Qasem Shehba quickly found work: the experienced coach, who led Mes Shahr-e Babak to historic promotion last season, signed to take charge of Mes Kerman. The technician replaces Farzad Hosseinkhani, who arrived after eight matches punctuated by four draws and four defeats.
The situation in Mes Kerman is delicate. The club, described as “racy” and with an important past in Iran, grabbed only four points and is in 14th place in the Lig-e Yek standings. The 2-1 defeat against Naft va Gaz Gachsaran on matchday 8 sealed Hosseinkhani's immediate future on the bench and opened the door to Shehba's return.
To understand the stakes of this nomination, we must recall Shehba's recent career. At the head of Mes Shahr-e Babak last season, he had one of the best exercises of his career: in 32 matches, his team recorded 18 victories, 10 draws and only 4 defeats, totaling 64 points. This performance allowed Shahr-e Babak to validate its accession to the first division three days before the end of the championship, a first entry to the highest level of Iranian football for the club.

However, the experience at the next level did not go as hoped. Mes Shahr-e Babak experienced serious difficulties at the start of its first year in the first division: in ten days, the team collected only five points, with five draws and five defeats. Heavy losses against big names like Persepolis (3-0) and Sepahan (4-0) quickly increased the pressure, leading to a premature separation between Shehba and the club.
Back in the “Mes family”, but this time in Kerman, Shehba takes on a sensitive file. Its mission is clear: to turn around a team that is off to a bad start, find positive results and avoid any threat of relegation. The challenge is twofold: restore order defensively and gain offensive efficiency to transform draws into victories.
Shehba's appointment will be closely scrutinized by supporters and management: his recent past proves that he knows how to build solid teams and obtain long-term performances, but his last experience in the first division also reminds us that he will need time and resources to impose his ideas. It remains to be seen whether he will be able to transpose to Mes Kerman the recipe which led Shahr-e Babak to success, and above all whether he will succeed in reversing the curve of results before the situation worsens further.
The rest
Shehba will need to quickly bring about positive change within the team to improve Mes Kerman's ranking. The next meetings will be decisive in establishing a favorable dynamic and avoiding relegation. The team's performance in the coming weeks will have a significant impact on the season and Shehba's future as coach.
