June 20, (THEWILL) – Seyi Olofinjana, a former Wolverhampton Wanderers and Stoke City midfielder, has been fired by Swiss club, Grasshoppers FC.
Olofinjana, who was appointed as Technical Director by the Swiss club a year ago, has been relieved of those duties as the club published the decision on its official website on Monday, stating that the former Wolves loan manager’s contract had been terminated.
Olofinjana was not the only one affected, as Jimmy Berisha, the club’s Managing Director, had his contract with the Swiss club terminated as well. Sky Sun, the club’s president, praised Olofinjana and Berisha for getting the club back on track.
Sun said: “I would like to thank Jimmy and Seyi for their trust and the always constructive and professional cooperation. Both have made important contributions to the club and guided GC through an important chapter in its history. Jimmy has played a pivotal role in bringing this new project to fruition over the past two years and has been able to put GC back on track by being instrumental in their promotion to the Super League.
“Since day one, Seyi has always shown great commitment and dedicated himself to every challenge with passion. Through his work, he ensured, among other things, that we were able to tackle the past season with a competitive team. I wish both of them all the best for their personal and professional future and thank them very much for their commitment.”
