CAS upheld appeal of Vladimir Mukhanov against FIFA DRC decision
CAS upheld an appeal of the Russian football coach Vladimir Mukhanov against decision of FIFA DRC in dispute between the coach and FC Aktobe (Kazakhstan).
In November 2012, FC Aktobe unilaterally terminated the contract with Mukhanov, and FIFA DRC ordered the club to pay compensation to the coach for breach of contract. However, FIFA decided that the amount of compensation stipulated by the parties in the contract shall be reduced by the coach’s salary in his new club. CAS confirmed that FIFA had no reason to reduce the amount of compensatio and issued a new decision on which coach will receive from FC Aktobe full amount of compensation specified in the contract. Mr. Mukhanov was represented by Legal Sport.
