Egyptian club Al Ahly plans to appeal a FIFA decision. The ruling orders the club to pay former coach Jose Riveiro a sum of US$588,000. This payment is compensation for his dismissal last year. The club will take its case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
The FIFA Players’ Status Chamber made the initial ruling. Jose Riveiro is a former coach of Orlando Pirates. He is set to receive full compensation for his agreed contract period. This is according to the FIFA decision.
The dispute centers on Riveiro's contract termination. Details of the contract and its termination were presented to FIFA. The Players’ Status Chamber reviewed the case before issuing its verdict.
Al Ahly's appeal will be heard by the Court of Arbitration for Sport. This is the highest court for international sports disputes. The club hopes to overturn the FIFA ruling.
The amount of US$588,000 represents compensation for the remainder of Riveiro's contract. FIFA's decision supports the former coach's claim.
This case highlights the legal processes involved in international football employment. It involves FIFA regulations and arbitration courts.
