Ex-Super Eagles midfielder Seyi Olofinjana has been relieved from his role as technical director of the Swiss side Grasshopper Club Zürich.
The Club made the announcement on Monday afternoon via their official website.
According to President Sky Sun, the Club decided to part ways with Olofinjana and Managing Director Jimmy Berisha after the board agreed to a change in management of the squad ahead of the coming season.
“Over the past weeks, intense discussions regarding the future of the club were held. Through these open and fair conversations, the parties came to the joint decision to go separate ways.”
“As a club with a strong heritage and ambitious vision, our aim must be to continuously push it forward and challenge ourselves on a regular basis. Following the transparent discussions and in light of the diverging views on the future direction of the club, it was mutually recognized that change within the leadership team was inevitable. The board of directors together with the concerned parties came to this decision in the best interest of the club’s future in order to keep pursuing its ambitious goals in the years to come,” said President Sky Sun.
“I would like to thank Jimmy and Seyi for their always professional and constructive collaboration. Seyi has always shown great dedication and committed fully to any challenge with a strong passion.”
“Through his work, he ensured we could tackle the season with a competitive squad. I wish them all the best for their personal and professional future and thank them sincerely for their commitment to Grasshoppers.” Sky Sun said.
Meanwhile, a new Sporting Director will be appointed in the coming days. President Sky Sun will assume the role and responsibilities of Managing Director on an interim basis.
