The leadership of Olimpija has seen better days. Last year, for instance, they celebrated the double crown… Then came the summer, which brought the club its first-ever European autumn! But today… Today Olimpija is without any trophies, without a coach, after having to bid farewell to Zoran Zeljković (official confirmation pending), and with a new hefty bill to settle. It was issued by the International Football Federation (FIFA), which ruled in the dispute between Olimpija and Albert Riera.
As is already known, Albert Riera turned to FIFA after parting ways with the Dragons, which resulted from the termination of his contract by Olimpija. The Spaniard, who now coaches the French second division club Bordeaux, sued Olimpija, although the latter announced months ago that they had won a legal battle with Albert Riera, which was not true. And it’s not true.
As reported by Sportklub, FIFA ruled in the case only in recent days or today, but not in favor of Olimpija. Albert Riera won the legal battle, and Olimpija must pay him all financial obligations under the signed contract. Additionally, FIFA has decided that the penalty imposed on him by Olimpija for an interview with Sportklub is invalid.
