Former Super Eagles coach, Sunday Oliseh has been cleared of any wrongdoing in the situation that led to his dismissal by Dutch second division side, Fortuna Sittard.
The Former Nigeria International was Fortuna Sittard Manager until he was shown the exit door two months ago following a controversial situation at the Club.
Oliseh took to his Social Media channel to inform the public of the Court verdict and his tweet reads:
“Dutch court finds Fortuna Sittard guilty for not being a good employer to Sunday and sanctions Fortuna. Most importantly The Knvb Court stated that the Ex-manager has not acted as a bad Employee!! Consequently negating false claims by Fortuna. God is Great!
“The court further sanctions Fortuna Sittard compensate me immediately financially. I am obliged to stay as Fortuna Employee until the month of May 2018.Thanks, 2 all my well-wishers for your valued support all through this injustice.Thankful to God 4 his blessings!
It is expected that Fortuna Sittard will obey the Court orders and compensate the former Nigeria International on the terms of his contract.
Earlier this year, Oliseh was suspended by the club after a breakdown of relations between the parties, according to the Dutch Eerste divisie side, but the former Nigeria international issued a counter statement alleging the club wanted him to partake in illegal deals.
‘Black money payment’ is an illegal payment for a job done in which tax is not paid to the government and it is punishable in the Netherlands.
According to a report on Dutch daily, nos.nl [h/t completesports] Fortuna Sittard offered Oliseh, his assistants and players ‘black money payment’ after the game against FC Emmen in January despite the club having the bank accounts of the players and coaches.
Oliseh rejected the payment and fell out with his employers.
