His selection as the manager of Persepolis Club provoked criticism from the Iranian sports media and some Persepolis veterans. In an example, Hossein Kalani told Mehr News Agency:
"I think his dependence on Mr. Sajjadi (Minister of Sports) led him to reach a very large and important club football seat in the country"He also added that:
Persepolis has fallen from "pit" to "well".{{Cite web |date=January 13, 2022 |title=طعنه تند پیشکسوت سرخ ها به مدیرعامل جدید {{!}} پرسپولیس با این انتخاب از چاله به چاه افتاد |url=https://www.hamshahrionline.ir/news/649753/طعنه-تند-پیشکسوت-سرخ-ها-به-مدیرعامل-جدید-پرسپولیس-با-این-انتخاب |access-date=2022-06-05 |website=همشهری آنلاین |language=fa}}{{Cite web |title=انتقاد کلانی از انتخاب درویش/ پرسپولیس از چاله به چاه افتاد {{!}} پرسپولیس نیوز |url=https://perspolisnews.com/%D8%A7%D9%86%D8%AA%D9%82%D8%A7%D8%AF-%DA%A9%D9%84%D8%A7%D9%86%DB%8C-%D8%A7%D8%B2-%D8%A7%D9%86%D8%AA%D8%AE%D8%A7%D8%A8-%D8%AF%D8%B1%D9%88%DB%8C%D8%B4-%D9%BE%D8%B1%D8%B3%D9%BE%D9%88%D9%84%DB%8C%D8%B3/ |access-date=June 5, 2022 |website=perspolisnews.com}}
At a time when the Persepolis club needed to build infrastructure and professional organization and strengthen the senior team, ISNA wrote about the selection of Darwish as the manager of Persepolis:
"There is a good relationship between him and some of the club's veterans"This was later considered an irrelevant advantage to professional club management issues.{{Cite web |date=January 12, 2022 |title=رضا درویش مدیرعامل پرسپولیس شد |url=https://www.isna.ir/news/1400102216620/رضا-درویش-مدیرعامل-پرسپولیس-شد |access-date=June 5, 2022 |website=ایسنا |language=fa}}
Shortly after his selection as manager of Persepolis, he openly announced his desire to recruit "only" a free agent; During this period, quality players were not free, and such a statement by him was criticized by the sports media. His announcement came as Iranian rivals of Persepolis, like Esteghlal, bought national team players under contracts from other teams. He also used the condition of "possibility of recruitment" to hire the players and stated that he is not responsible for talking to the players.{{Cite web |title=پوزخند یحیی به "بازیکن آزاد اعلام کنید، می‌گیریم" |url=https://www.varzesh3.com/news/1809451/%D9%BE%D9%88%D8%B2%D8%AE%D9%86%D8%AF-%DB%8C%D8%AD%DB%8C%DB%8C-%D8%A8%D9%87-%D8%A8%D8%A7%D8%B2%DB%8C%DA%A9%D9%86-%D8%A7%D9%93%D8%B2%D8%A7%D8%AF-%D8%A7%D8%B9%D9%84%D8%A7%D9%85-%DA%A9%D9%86%DB%8C%D8%AF-%D9%85%DB%8C-%DA%AF%DB%8C%D8%B1%DB%8C%D9%85 |access-date=2022-06-05 |website=ورزش سه |language=fa}}
