Mohammad Hossein Dadkan محمد حسين دادکان (born 6 November 1954) is an Iranian former football player who spent most of his playing career with Persepolis FC.
[1] In 2002 Mohsen Safaei Farahani, the President of IRIFF at the time, appointed Dadgan as the head of Iran's Premier Football League (IPL).
Mohsen Farahani resigned from his position after Iranian national team failed to reach the World Cup Finals which was held in Korea and Japan in 2002.
At the start of his presidency Dadgan sacked Branko Ivanković, the manager of the Iranian national football team, and replaced him with his close friend Homayoon Shahrokhi.
During Iran's World Cup qualification campaign, Dadgan almost showed up at Team Melli's every training session and went along with them to all away games in foreign countries.
But Dadgan's darkest time came at the start of season 2005–2006, when Rah Ahan FC, one of the teams who were promoted to IPL from lower division used false documents on one of their players.
But after a long weeks of debate behind closed doors at IRIFF, the disciplinary committee announced that Rah Ahan FC is guilty, however they will be promoted to IPL.
