AFP, BAGHDAD: Iraq coach Radhi Shenaishil on Tuesday said he was being denied a $300,000 pay-out and threatened a lawsuit against the country's football federation after being sacked.
The federation decided to let go of Shenaishil, who started coaching Iraq in 2015, and his staff on Monday following a series of meetings convened after Iraq failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup. “I will launch legal proceedings to claim the financial package I am entitled to if the federation foregoes its contractual obligations,” the fired coach told AFP.
