Ex-Chelsea star Malouda finds out job ended via social media
FC Zurich released a statement claiming Florent Malouda had left his job as a coach but the Frenchman pleaded ignorance.
Florent Malouda has had his contract as a coach at FC Zurich terminated but claims he has not been informed of the situation.
What? Who? Why?
The former Chelsea and Lyon winger was hired by the Swiss giants in February, with responsibility for training the first-team forwards.
However, his time at Stadion Letzigrund has come to a premature end, with the club citing differences with their respective aims.
