Emeka claims unpaid wages

Mohammedan's Nigerian coach Emeka Ezeugo filed a complaint to the Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) against the club, claiming that he is yet to be paid 103,114 dollars by his club in unpaid wages, victory bonuses, tickets and other bonus payments, etc.
The Nigerian coach mentioned that he was supposed to be paid 2500 dollars per month, 300 dollars per match won, 5000 dollars for finishing third in the league, reimbursement for air tickets, for his trip to New York and for international transfer certificates, according to BFF officials.
However, Lokman Hossain Bhuiyan, director and member in charge of Mohammedan SC Ltd., denied Emeka's claim and said, “We have already given him 16500 dollars out of his seven-month salary of 17500 dollars in three phases.
“But he is claiming an extra month's salary as well as payment of international transfer certificates of the foreign players he brought at the start of the season but according to the deal with him, the club was not supposed to pay any money regarding ITCs,” said Lokman, adding that the initial contract with Emeka stipulated a 2000 dollar salary, which they later raised to 2500 dollars.
The former Mohammedan star took charge of MSC last November before guiding his side to the last match of the professional football league on June 28.
Under his guidance, Mohammedan were eliminated from the group stage of the Federation Cup and finished third in the 11-team Bangladesh Premier League table following a superb performance in the second leg of the professional league. The Nigerian World Cup star however has virtually no chance of coaching Mohammedan next season.
“Last season, Emeka had to work as Abdul Kaium Sentu's assistant due to the lack of his coaching documents. We would love to see him as the head coach of the team but we actually can't recognise him,” Lokman said. “This time we are thinking of appointing a local coach and it will be finalised at the board meeting.”
