Gor Mahia FC has terminated its contract with their striker Dennis Oliech over misconduct cases.
Oliech has been fired just months into his two-year deal at the club that was worth several million and also hasn’t been playing much because of a leg injury.

In an official statement on their website, the team said that Oliech had to be sent home because of his poor performance and misconduct. The termination comes just days after rumours that the football also wanted to try his luck in politics.
Here’s the full statement from the team:
“In pursuance of the provisions of Clause 6 of your Player Agreement Contract entered into with Gor Mahia Football Club we hereby write to advise you that we have terminated your contract with immediate effect on grounds of Just Cause as also stipulated in FIFA Article 14 Regulations of the Statues and Transfer of Players.
