The 57 year-old coach has come to Tehran to negotiate with Tehran’s popular team.
“Rijsbergen is a good choice to coach Persepolis. We will make the final decision by the end of Sunday,” Hamid Jasemian, a member of Persepolis’ managerial board said.
Rijsbergen assisted Leo Beenhakker in Trinidad and Tobago national team at the 2006 World Cup. He headed the team for a while after Beenhakker left the Caribbean team.
Rijsbergen will bring an assistant from the Netherlands in case of reaching the agreement with Persepolis.
The Dutch played for the Netherlands in 1974 and 1978 World Cups. He has made 28 caps and scored one goal.
He has also coached Ajax Amsterdam (youth team), Roodenburg, Groningen and Al-Ettifaq.
Persepolis did not reach an agreement with Spaniard Benito Floro Sanz, German Klaus Toppmoller and Croat Luka Peruzovic.
