Big Bullets backtracked on their intention to terminate the services of Burundian coach Nsazwirwimo Ramadhan to avoid a lawsuit in the region of K14.5 million.
Bullets stakeholders held in Lilongwe a month ago unanimously endorsed to sack Ramadhan because the team was scared of his huge salary and the dubious process on his appointment.
However the People’s team has failed to successfully get rid of Ramadhan after noting legal gaffes in his contract that could have seen Bullets compensating the Burundian about K14.5 million.
One of Ramadhan’s agents Kelvin Moyo confirmed that if Bullets had terminated the contract they were liable to pay K14.5 million in compensation.
“Bullets officials realised this and they felt that engaging us will solve the impending lawsuit,” Moyo said.
In a related development despite agreeing a 30 percent cut on his salary Ramadhan is yet to get paid.
“During our discussions we agreed that Ramadhan should be paid his monthly arrears from January to April using terms of the previous contract. But up to now he hasn’t been paid,” he said.
He said Bullets were yet to offer draft contract as earlier on arranged.
Bullets intend to offer Ramadhan another contract having ironed out serious flaws that were in the first contract.
The initial contract had no performance related clause contrary to the modern dictates of the modern football requirements.
His wages has also been a critical issue as he was reportedly receiving K400,000 to K600,000.
Bullets officials declined to comment on the allegations that Ramadhan was offered a reprieve to stay at the club to avoid a K14.5 million lawsuit.
