French manager Patrice Neveu has filed an official complaint to FIFA against his former club Ismaili, accusing them of refusing to pay his dues, Ismaili general director Abdul-Rahman Anous said Wednesday. Neveu was sacked just before the kick-off the Egyptian League, following his three-week absence from the club after he underwent a knee surgery in France. "Ismaili have received a copy from Neveu's complaint, in which he claims that the club owe him $450, 000," Anous told FilGoal.com. "But the buyout clause is just $30,000, a fee he refused to receive." Neveu's financial dispute with Ismaili is the latest of a series of conflicts involving Egyptian clubs with foreign managers. Last April, Zamalek have resolved their dispute with Brazilian coach Carlos Cabral following a lengthy legal battle. Meanwhile, Anous has denied reports that Ismaili striker Mohamed Mohsen Abou-Greisha is set for a loan move to UAE second division club Ras Al-Khaimah. "Ras Al-Khaimah president was in the stands to watch Ismaili's CAF Confederation game against Dolphin not to monitor any player." "His team are holding a camp in Egypt so it was a chance for him to attend the match," Anous added. Abou-Greisha has lost his regular place to Mohamed Fadl and Omar Gamal after a series of disappointing displays.
