Larissa take legal action
NEW Wales manager Chris Coleman is still under contract with his former club Larissa who are starting legal proceedings against the Welsh FA, the Greek club claimed last night.
Coleman, 41, took over at second division Larissa in May 2011 on a one-year contract but left on 8 January, citing personal reasons and the club’s financial problems as the reasons for his departure. The club released a statement reacting to the news of his Wales appointment and a spokesman said Coleman had not signed a contract termination agreement.
“On 8 January, 2012, Chris Coleman gave his last interview as head coach of Larissa, saying the causes of his departure were unrelated to the national team of his country; today, 11 days afterwards it has been announced that he will be the new national coach of Wales,” Larissa said. “We have started legal proceedings. We are also prepared to take the matter to Fifa.”
