Giovanni Rodriguez Bissolli, the Brazilian who was recruited by Gor Mahia to much fanfare in January 0f 2013, has now reported Gor Mahia to FIFA citing wrongful dismissal.\u00a0 This is according to a report posted by Capital FM.<\/p>\n
His complaint is that\u00a0 he was dismissed from the club despite having a running contract, signed by both parties; club and player.<\/p>\n
At the time Bissolli would have been the highest paid player in the KPL with a monthly salary of 1,500 USD (Sh150,000 in the current exchange rate) and a monthly house allowance of 250 USD (Sh25,000 in the current exchange rate). He also had an agreement of a Sh5,000 win allowance as well as transport to and from training as well as medical cover.<\/p>\n
Gor Mahia Secretary General Ronald Ngala has confirmed that the club has been served with the papers and says they will look at them and take appropriate action.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was called by the federation and told there is such a letter. I believe they have been taken to the chairman\u2019s office and we will look at them then make a decision on what to be done,\u201d Ngala told Capital Sport.<\/p>\n
Ngala has admitted to Capital Sport that the club indeed had a valid contract with Bissolli.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe had some agreement with him, that is true, but he was dismissed in quite a haphazard manner because the coach insisted he cannot use him. As at now, we can\u2019t say much. Let\u2019s just study the letter and the demands and make a decision,\u201d Ngala added.<\/p>\n
In FIFA\u2019s letter to Gor, the players\u2019 status committee has asked the club to explain with documented evidence why they released the player without both parties having an agreement.<\/p>\n
Rodriguez’s arrival had been highly touted by the club. The deal was fronted by a local agent.<\/p>\n
At the time Rachier explained why the club was interested in Bissolli.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have his detailed records of video and resume from the Brazilian federation. The player has been keen to join us for the past two years and when he came here for trials, at his own expense, we thought we should give him a chance,\u201d said Rachier at the time.<\/p>\n
However the purported video of the player that was posted online and is still available on youtube is clearly fake. The close up videos are indeed Bisolli but the player running with the ball is not him. The player shown running in the video below has greater speed, fluidity of movement and even appears to have much darker hair.<\/p>\n
This is false adverting !<\/strong><\/p>\n
