Ulsan ambitiously recruited Georgia-born offensive midfielder Arabidze in July last year in anticipation of a `second baco.' The contract lasted three and a half years. He made his K-League debut on Aug. 18 against Suwon FC. In the second game, on August 31, he showed off his 'golden left foot' by scoring multiple goals against the Pohang Steelers.
But that was the end of his performance. Since Kim Pan-gon's appointment, the atmosphere has changed. Gone after five more games. He only played in seven K-League games.
Ulsan, which is in a new edition, notified Arabidze of its breakup earlier this year. There was a conflict in this process. Arabidze, who returned to Georgia in February, filed a complaint with FIFA against Ulsan, accusing it of violating the contract.
FIFA recently ruled in favor of Arabidze. It was indicated that Ulsan, which violated the contract, should pay the remaining annual salary for the remaining contract period. It is known that the amount is more than 4 billion won.
The case is said to have become a big issue in the process of Kim's replacement. Coach Kim, who was in labor with Ulsan over his farewell, gave up his baton after an agreement on the 1st.
Ulsan is reportedly considering appealing to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in defiance of FIFA's decision.
Meanwhile, Ulsan announced on the 6th that it has let CEO Kim Kwang-guk continue to manage the club for stability within the club and a rebound in performance. CEO Kim broke up with director Kim on the 1st and expressed his resignation.
