Richarlison is facing legal action for “unfair dismissal”. Reginaldo Pereira, the Brazilian centre-forward’s former assistant, “felt like he was used as a dog, worked 24 hours a day, then was unfairly dumped”as a source close to the complainant tells us Sun.
The 60-year-old, who says he worked in poor conditions, excessive hours and under pressure from Richarlison’s father, is demanding 112,000 euros from the Tottenham player. The former assistant explains that he was “emotionally shocked“, in addition to losing his wife and becoming unemployed overnight. A preliminary hearing will be held in Watford next month.
