In his post, Garrido expressed his gratitude and appreciation for everyone involved with the club.

He wrote, “Thank you, Persepolis. I can only thank all of you: the players, staff, and fans. I thoroughly enjoyed our time together. Thank you, Tehran. Thank you, Iran. You will always be in my heart. I wish you all the best. Goodbye.”

Garrido managed 20 matches this season, achieving 9 wins, 5 draws, and 6 losses. His record includes victories in the Premier League, Persian Gulf Pro League, and Hazfi Cup.
