Ex-Super Eagles midfielder, Seyi Olofinjana sacked by Grasshoppers FC

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.

“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.
