“The departure of Carlos Queiroz from the technical command of the Colombian team is imminent.” Thus, direct and to the point was the Portuguese newspaper Record on the future of the coach, after the humiliating defeats against Uruguay (0-3) and Ecuador (6-1).
These results, which already made the coach’s continuity in his position very fragile, add to an obvious difficulty in managing the dressing room, judging by the recent leaks of discussions that would have reached the hands after the painful defeats in Barranquilla and Quito .
But the version goes further and even talks about how much this exit will cost the Colombian Football Federation (FCF) and in what terms it would be paid: “it will cost the Federation two million dollars, which is negotiating a phased payment plan with the Portuguese coach, “says the media.
Indeed, this high amount is mentioned because, in this type of contracts, it is usual for termination clauses to be established, which protect the employer, in this case the FCF, from an abrupt departure from their DT, and the worker in a case of dismissal as the one being analyzed.
“This clause stipulates the amount of 2 million dollars to be paid by the party that decides to break the contract before its expiration. In this case, it is the Colombian Federation that bears the ‘expense’, exercising this clause,” says Record.
If the version is true, the FCF would have already made the radical decision to end Queiroz’s cycle in the Colombian National Team, after almost two years, and would now give the green light to the lawyers for the unilateral termination of the contract.
It is worth remembering that this Wednesday Álvaro González, one of the members of the FCF Executive Committee, publicly asked for the Portuguese to leave for failure to meet the goals set upon arrival.
