The former Rennais then launched a procedure for “unfair dismissal” with FIFA. A lawsuit lost by the player, the international body having given reason to his former employer.
“The FIFA Dispute Chamber has dismissed the complaint filed by former Sevilla FC player Joris Gagnon against the club for unfair dismissal.

According to this decision, Sevilla FC will not have to pay compensation to the player, who can still appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (TAD)”, can we read in a press release from the club Andalusian.
