Swiss club terminates Olofinjana’s appointment as Technical Director

The former Super Eagles star has been a Technical Director at Grasshoppers for more than a year but the Swiss club has terminated his contract

Former Wolverhampton Wanderers and Stoke City midfielder, Seyi Olofinjana has been sacked by Swiss club, Grasshoppers FC.

Olofinjana was appointed by the Swiss club barely a year ago and may now be set for new adventures.

The club announced the decision on Monday via its official website and said the contract with the former Wolves loans manager has been terminated.

Jimmy Berisha, the club’s Managing Director also had his contract terminated by the Swiss club.

Club President, Sky Sun however appreciated Olofinjana and Berisha for putting the club back on a good track.

“I would like to thank Jimmy and Seyi for their trust and the always constructive and professional cooperation. Both have made important contributions to the club and guided GC through an important chapter in its history.

“Jimmy has played a pivotal role in bringing this new project to fruition over the past two years and has been able to put GC back on track by being instrumental in their promotion to the Super League. Since day one, Seyi has always shown great commitment and dedicated himself to every challenge with passion. Through his work, he ensured, among other things, that we were able to tackle the past season with a competitive team. I wish both of them all the best for their personal and professional future and thank them very much for their commitment.”

Olofinjana worked with Wolves prior to his exit from the Premier League side for Switzerland.
