Vladimir Petkovic Seeks €15 Million Compensation from Bordeaux
Vladimir Petkovic, coach of Algeria's national team, is demanding €15 million in compensation from Bordeaux after being dismissed in 2021.
Vladimir Petkovic, the coach of the Algeria national team, has filed a legal claim demanding a compensation amounting to €15 million from his former club, Bordeaux. This comes after his dismissal from the club in 2021, a move that he believes was unjust and without cause.
In February 2021, Petkovic was let go by Bordeaux despite having a valid contract. His termination from the club was reportedly abrupt, and Petkovic has since been seeking a fair settlement. The coach claims that the dismissal was not only wrongful but also left him without the compensation he was entitled to.
Initially, Bordeaux took legal action against Petkovic, accusing him of misconduct and justifying his termination. In response, Petkovic's legal team argues that the allegations were unproven, and the club's decision to release him without compensation was a breach of contract.
In 2022, a French court ruled in favor of Bordeaux, stating that the coach had committed a serious fault, which warranted his dismissal. This ruling required Petkovic to pay €25,000 in damages. However, Petkovic has decided to challenge this verdict, claiming that the decision was flawed and contradictory. His lawyer, Arnaud Conston, expressed confidence that the appeal will be successful, citing inconsistencies in the original judgment.
Petkovic had signed a lucrative three-year deal with Bordeaux that promised him a monthly salary of €300,000, an amount that Petkovic insists should be paid in full, especially as the club is now facing severe financial distress.
The Bordeaux football club, once a prominent force in French football, is currently struggling with a serious financial crisis. The club has filed for bankruptcy and has been relegated to France’s fourth division after failing to meet its financial obligations. Despite the club's ongoing difficulties, Petkovic remains determined to receive the compensation he believes he is owed.
As the legal battle continues, all eyes are on the outcome of this high-profile case, which has implications not only for Petkovic but also for the future of Bordeaux, as the club's financial troubles deepen.
