Michael Osei threatens court action over Kotoko salary snub
Kotoko junior team coach Michael Osei has threatened to slap the Porcupine Warriors with a law suit over monies owed him by the Kumasi-based side.
The senior team assistant coach-turned-technical director of Kotoko’s youth team has vowed to take Kotoko to court after the club’s delay in settling monies due him.
According to him, an alert he received on his phone indicated his money had been settled only to be told his name had been taken out of the club’s payroll when he went to cash out the money the following day.
Before being told to join the junior team following the arrival of Zdravko Lugarusic, he still had a 20-month contract of about GHS 4000 a month with the club which potentially adds up to GHS 80,000 in salary owed him.
Credible reports show Mr Osei is also owed an amount of GHS 40,000 as signing on fee from New Edubiase. The figures put together adds up to GHS 120,000.
Mr Osei was demoted to Kotoko’s junior ranks ahead of the 2016-17 premier league season in accordance with clause 3 (2) of his employment contract with the club.
