It’s a particularly cruel way to make a departure official.
After recently terminating the contract of their Brazilian center-back Léo Coelho, Amazonas FC went even further by posting an Instagram video compiling his biggest blunders, positioning errors, and own goals.
It was a deliberate act of pettiness from the Brazilian third-division club (Brasileiro Série C), in response to the labor claim filed by Coelho, who is demanding nearly 8 million reais (around 1.3 million euros) for unpaid wages and other contractual breaches.
The 33-year-old defender had arrived in the Amazon region last August with the status of an experienced player after spells with Uruguayan giants Nacional and Peñarol. But things quickly turned sour.
While some praised the originality of the move, others saw it as a blatant lack of respect.
