Accra Hearts of Oak have clarified that the club has already paid a portion of the arrears owed former coach Slavko Matic after FIFA intervened in the matter on Tuesday.
A ruling from the world football governing body had ordered the club to pay the Serbian trainer an amount of $14,002 as compensation for a wrongful termination of his contract in March, 2023.
In a statement, the club said they had “already proceeded to pay Mr. Matic weeks ago the amount (less loans he took which he did not mention to FIFA).”
The 47-year-old, who succeeded Samuel Boadu in October last year, was forced out of the club by fans who stormed the training ground and prevented him from conducting training sessions following a string of poor results.
Matic was then relieved of his duties shortly after the incident, but the club failed to pay any compensation owed him in lieu of termination.
