Burkinabé coach, Seydou Zerbo has announced his intention to file a legal complaint against Asante Kotoko with the Federation of International Football Associations (FIFA).
The coach’s action is in response to the Porcupine Warriors allegedly refusing to pay his three-month wage arrears following his departure from the squad.
Following the departure of Dr. Prosper Narteh Ogum, Zerbo was named Asante Kotoko’s new head coach. He was relieved of his responsibilities following a bad run of form.
Zerbo expressed his unhappiness with the situation in his first interview since leaving the club, claiming that the club had not fulfilled its commitments to settle his three-month wage arrears as agreed upon following the termination of his contract.
“I have started the process to drag Kotoko to FIFA in order to get my three months’ salaries. After the Medeama defeat in Kumasi, the CEO Nana Yaw Amponsah came to see me and informed me about the decision to terminate my contract. Indeed it was a sad moment for me but I had to accept it and move on,” Seydou Zerbo told Fox FM.
He added: “We signed an agreement that I will receive three months’ salary following my contract termination but I haven’t received it as of this time.”
