THE legal team of domestic football’s governing body FUFA, will next week revive their compensation case against former coach Lazslo Csaba. The German absconded from duty and headed to Scotland’s outfit Hearts FC as manager in June.The federation expects compensation from Csaba’s new employers for his unethical behaviour, abandoning the job and ignoring his contractual obligations.
The federation counsel Alex Ruganda, who is also secretary of the legal committee said this week that the case was halted after the Hearts FC legal officer handling the case went on leave.
Ruganda said that the replacement for the Hearts officer failed to proceed with the case.
“We are informed that their legal counsel will be in office next week. We are in touch with them,” Ruganda explained in an interview in Kampala.
“We will resume the exchange of information next week,” the official added.
Ruganda added that they were trying to avoid court proceedings.
“I think it can be settled out of court to avoid those extra expenses. We can only go to court when everything has failed,” said Ruganda.
FUFA in July informed the world body FIFA and the coaches association of Scotland about the conduct of Csaba.
Csaba had complained that FUFA never fulfiled their part of the contract.
FUFA told FIFA that they are yet to get any word from Hearts and that Csaba still had two more years left on his contract.
FUFA were obliged to pay Csaba $173,000 if he was sacked while the coach was due to pay the body $60,000 for breach of contract.
