Gambia: Antoine Hey Demands Payment...Before Coming Back to Gambia
Nanama Keita,
Coach
Antoine Hey has delayed his arrival to the country until his money is
paid to his account by the Department of State for Youth, Sports &
Religious Affairs, reports reaching Observer Sports desk have revealed.
The German was expected to land in the country on Tuesday to sign a
formal contract with the Gambia Football Association-the beneficiary.
Reports
monitored at Sports File revealed that coach Hey is reluctant to come
to The Gambia until his outstanding three-month salary is paid to his
account.
Coach Hey's case has been the centre
of controversy in the past week after the media reports that he had
stepped down as the Scorpions' coach because he had not been paid of
his salary. The news was later down-played by the Department of State
for Youth, Sports & Religious who insisted that German Antoine Hey
has not resigned, adding "the German is still the coach of the
country's national football team". The 36-year-old German coach was
appointed in September, as the Scorpions ended a three-year spell
without a coach.
Meanwhile, an insider at the
Gambia Football Association told Observer Sports that the Department of
State for Youth, Sports & Religious is working tirelessly to settle
Antoine Hey. "We are very optimistic that Hey will arrive soon because
the sports Department is working hard to pay the amount to his account
as soon as possible," the source assured.
