Revealed: Why South African Side Cape Town City Sacked Obinna Nsofor
Read Time:1 Minute, 35 Second
Obinna Nsofor’s bid to resurrect his career suffered a massive blow
after he was sacked by South African League side Cape Town City, six
months after joining them.
The signing of the 30-year-old Nigerian international who has turned
out for Inter Milan, West Ham and Chievo in the past was viewed as a
coup by followers of the PSL, but the move has not worked out.
Upon his signing it was announced that the Nigerian is signing on a
one year deal, but club Chairman John Comitis revealed the deal has a
clause, which says his contract will be reviewed after the first six
months.
“Obinna had a six-month contract plus [an] option to continue and he
couldn’t get his family here because of paperwork, and we decided that
maybe it’s best to part ways,” Comitis told KICK OFF.
“We had a one season [contract] to it but it was to be reviewed after
six months and he didn’t settle. His wife couldn’t get the visa to
come here.”
His first six months at the club didn’t go as planned with just a goal
to his name from 14 appearances, and despite the efforts of coach
Benni McCarthy who was his teammate at West Ham back then, to retain
him, the chairman insisted on the Nigerian leaving after his failure
to deliver.
“Chairman John Comitis agreed with Victor from the beginning that we
would do a review after six months and he didn’t feel that it was
working for us,” coach Benni McCarthy told TimesLIVE.
“There are no hard feelings between us. He understands. I felt he was
getting fitter‚ better and stronger but I don’t think the chairman was
convinced.”
