Fufa drags Csaba to court


If you thought the fall out between Fufa and former Uganda Cranes coach Lazslo Csaba ended, think again.

Now the federation through Kiwanuka, Karugire and Company Advocates has sued Csaba claiming he terminated his four-year contract prematurely.

Csaba resigned on July 10, 2008, exactly half way through his four year contract.

According to the contract, Csaba would pay US$200,000 if he quits his job.

The federation through its lawyers claims Csaba has failed to comply with the document he duly signed.

“The defendant (Csaba) has despite repeated demands failed, neglected, to pay US $200,000 as agreed between the parties,” a document submitted to court claims.

Fufa further claims it has suffered greatly having lost the services of Csaba under the agreement. They want him to pay damages, interests, compensation, and the costs of the suit.

Csaba in his resignation letter countered that Fufa breached the contract when they failed to provide him a driver and items like a pay TV decoder.

Csaba, who is now with Scottish side Hearts further claims Fufa delayed paying his salary and that there were inconsistencies in paying fees for his child, water, power and medical bills.

High Court registrar Roy Byaruhanga has given Csaba 15 days to file his defence.

Fufa replaced Csaba with Scotsman Bobby Williamson last month.
