The legal dispute between Simba SC and their former head coach, Fadlu Davids, is expected to officially go before world football governing body FIFA for a hearing in January 2027.
The dispute, which has been followed since last year, stems from allegations made by Simba against the South African coach, accusing him of breaching the terms of his contract during his time at the club.
According to the claims submitted by Simba, Fadlu Davids allegedly left the team’s camp in Botswana without obtaining special permission from the club’s management following a CAF Champions League match against Gaborone United last season.
The incident prompted Simba’s Legal Department to take legal action by submitting a case to the relevant FIFA bodies, seeking financial compensation over what the club described as a breach of contractual obligations.
The legal proceedings were handled by Simba’s Legal Department under the leadership of the club’s lawyer, Hosea Chamba, who submitted the claim with the aim of protecting the club’s interests.
Meanwhile, Fadlu has already begun his duties as Yanga head coach after being unveiled by the historic champions two days ago.
Fadlu joined Yanga from Raja CA, where he had moved after leaving Simba. He parted ways with Raja CA at the end of last season by mutual agreement.
He is now in charge of the Yanga squad, which is currently holding a 10-day training camp in Zanzibar.
