On April 30, Hupu News, according to the famous BBC reporter Nizaar Kinsella, Chelsea has officially informed former coach Rossinier that he will not receive the full release clause totaling 24 million pounds for the remaining period of the contract.
In January this year, Rossinier was appointed as Chelsea head coach, but unfortunately, only a few months later, just last week, the club made a decision to formally sack him. At the beginning, Rossinier signed a contract with Chelsea. The contract period was as long as six and a half years, and his annual salary was about 4 million pounds. Based on the rough calculation based on the remaining years of the contract, after being fired, theoretically, he can receive about 24 million pounds in termination compensation.
However, the BBC further revealed that Rossinier's contract actually contained a specific termination clause. According to this clause, the amount of termination fee he will eventually receive after leaving the team will be far lower than the value of 24 million pounds. Such clauses are actually not very uncommon in coaching contracts of top football clubs. They are generally used to limit the total amount of compensation that the club needs to pay under certain specific circumstances.
Rossinier was unaware of the fact that he would not be able to receive the full release clause, but Chelsea informed him of this clause. The outside world is currently unable to know the exact amount of the release fee Chelsea will pay to Rossinier. As usual, this amount will only be disclosed in the financial report after Chelsea Club publishes its annual financial report next year. Only then will the outside world be able to see the approximate amount of this expenditure from the club's salary expenditures and compensation payments.
Prior to this, it may be difficult to officially confirm the actual amount of compensation Rossinier received. For Chelsea, using contract clauses to reduce financial losses caused by coaching changes is also part of the club's sophisticated management operations. For Rossinier, although the full termination fee is not enough, the compensation received according to the terms should still be a considerable amount.
