Guthenberg. The conflict between IFK Gutenberg and Tobias Sana, 32, is approaching a new continuation.
Sportbladet has learned that the midfielder has hired a lawyer and labor law expert.
If no agreement is reached, the matter passes to the arbitration proceedings of the Swedish Football Association.
announced last Thursday IFK Gothenburg that terminates cooperation with Tobias Sana Referring to the fact that “Tobias acts half the time (vs Kalmar, red note) Violated team and club values from peer behavior and professionalism“.
The motives on the club’s website have been worded very carefully.
Since IFK Gutenberg believes that Sana has violated the club’s values, the federation claims that he has also violated Section 2.1 of the standard contract that all Allsvenskan players sign with his employer.
There, the player is obliged to participate in activities in accordance with the “Statutes of the Association and Higher Sports Organizations and Other Regulations”.
The contract gives the federation – or the player – the right in accordance with Section 9 to terminate the Agreement with immediate effect if one of the parties “substantially breaches its obligations under this Agreement”.
can not comment
IFK Gutenberg believes Sana did so in reference to the Trustees, among other things, and therefore they terminated the agreement with immediate effect last week.
If the association – as well as the player – suffers a significant breach of contract, you can also claim the other party for damages.
Fotbolldirekt stated that IFK Gothenburg directly wants to restrict salary payments to Sanna even though the player’s contract is valid until the end of December this year.
The site also writes that “the legal process is about to set sail” and that it is more about than if IFK Gothenburg had the right to terminate the contract.
According to Sportbladet information from several sources, Sana has been represented for some time by an experienced lawyer who is an expert in labor law with specialist knowledge in the sports industry.
– With reference to the legal ethics regulations, I cannot comment on who my clients are. Their consent is required for this, the lawyer told Sportbladet.
“He has an ongoing staff matter.”
According to Sportbladet information, the decision by IFK in Gothenburg last week to terminate cooperation with Sana with immediate effect means that the midfielder will receive a salary from the club for a very limited period remaining.
If Sana and his representatives do not accept how IFK Gutenberg terminated the contract, the termination of the contract will be referred to an arbitration panel of the Swedish Football Association.
Then one or more persons with legal background can follow up the case and determine in the judgment what is right or wrong. Hence, the decision cannot be appealed.
The footballers’ union, Spilarforingen, must also have been involved in the dispute between Plafitte and SANA. Players’ Association General Secretary Magnus Erlingmark gave Sportbladet a short answer: “No comments.”
IFK Gothenburg director Håkan Mild does not wish to comment on the new information with anything more than:
We have personnel matters that I cannot comment on.
In a longer interview with Sportbladet last Saturday, Mild said:
– It was a process and we made our decisions. But the last word should be said – I don’t think so.
