Former Real Tamale United manager, Abdul Mumin Abdullai has openly talked about the club’s failure to pay him salaries and bonuses dating back to the 2022/23 Ghana Premier League season.
Mumin’s disclosure comes in the wake of his expulsion from the club following accusations of match-fixing, prompting an internal investigation by RTU.
In an interview with Kumasi based Akoma FM, Abdul Mumin expressed his disappointment and frustration, stating that despite his dedication to the club over the past few years, he has been left unpaid.
“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,” Mumin revealed.
“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,” Mumin expressed.
With regards to the match-fixing claims, fans had protested for an investigation to be launched due to how the team lost to Nsoatreman last weekend.
According to the fans, the substitutions of the coach were aimed at weakening the team as they gave away a 1-0 lead to lose 2-1 through an own goal and a late strike Nsoatreman FC.
Despite the tough circumstances, Mumin expressed hope that RTU would address the issue promptly and settle the outstanding payments owed to him.
