Dynamo concluded its collaboration with the identified individual, remunerated with 49.3 million Russian rubles.
Cashing Out the Coach
Looks like the Russian football club, Dinamo Moscow, has parted ways with former head coach Marcel Licka and turned over a quite hefty sum of around 49.3 million rubles (541.7 thousand euros). This decision came after some long chats between the club and the Czech tactician himself. Initially, Dinamo contested that they weren't responsible for the full compensation due to Licka's dismissal before an automatic contract extension on the fifth place in the championship. However, they managed to finish in fifth spot under interim coach Roland Gusyev.
Sources close to the negotiation, such as insider Ivan Karpov, reveal that the payment consists of two months' salary for the remaining contract period (from May 1 to June 30) and an extra chunk of 4.5 monthly salaries, amounting to 6.5 of the coach's salaries in total.
The 47-year-old Licka is chilling in Prague at the moment, awaiting offers from European clubs. Meanwhile, Dinamo has a new boss: Valery Karpin, who stepped up after Gusyev. Although there have been some sparks, both parties found a middle ground and managed to avoid any back-and-forth drama.
