Former Real Tamale United (RTU) head coach, Abdul Mumin, has opened up about the financial challenges he faces due to unpaid salaries and bonuses dating back to the 2022/23 football season.
The coach was recently relieved of his duties amidst accusations of match-fixing by frustrated fans.
In an interview with Akoma FM, Coach Mumin expressed his disappointment at the situation, stating that he had dedicated his time and effort to the club only to be accused of unethical behavior. He explained that the decision to part ways with RTU was mutual, as he could not continue without receiving the compensation he was rightfully owed.
“We went on a mutual termination. I couldn’t have resigned because I have a lot of money to take from them. That’s my unpaid salaries and bonuses from the 2022/23 and 2023/24 seasons. The only money we have received is just that of March this year,” Coach Abdul Mumin disclosed.
Despite the challenges, Coach Mumin emphasized his commitment to helping develop young players and the overall game. He revealed instances where players were paid while he was left waiting for his dues, further adding to his frustration.
“I volunteered to help with my coaching license in that direction and there were even occasions where players were paid, and I wasn’t paid. Only to be accused of match manipulation, I’m really pained,” Coach Mumin shared.
