Mohammedan Sporting Club is trying to solve the issue of unpaid wages of its former coach Emeka Ezeugo after FIFA recently instructed the Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF) to curtail three points of the club from the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League campaign.

The game's local governing body received the FIFA documents on Thursday and forwarded those documents to the club, asking them to clear the unpaid wages and the fine.

“We communicated with Emeka about the matter and he will let us know about it within a few days,” Mohammedan's director-in-charge Lokman Hossain Bhuiyan said yesterday. “We have also talked with the BFF about what to do.”

“I went through the documents but we don't have any option to appeal against the decision of deduction of three points,” Lokman added.

The long-serving Mohammedan organiser however said that they would take immediate action to avoid any further punishment from football's world governing body.

Emeka had guided Mohammedan to a third-place finish in the BPL in 2011-12 season, but claimed he was not paid a single penny at a press conference in July, 2012. Later, the Nigerian filed a complaint to FIFA's disciplinary committee, which ordered the club to clear his wages worth $20,000 in 2015.

As the club did not pay the dues, FIFA, on October 30 this year, instructed the BFF to curtail three points from the club's current campaign as well as pay the unpaid wages and fine, amounting to 22,000 dollars.
