Spanish striker sacked for revealing contract details

London - Spanish striker Francisco Sandaza was fired by Scottish second-division club Rangers after talking about financial terms of his contract on phone with a man claiming to be an agent.

The club said in a statement Wednesday that they decided “to terminate its contract with Francisco Sandaza. The player has been advised of the situation.”

The club said Sandaza revealed salary details to the caller thinking the “agent” could broker a move to Major League Soccer in the US.

Sandaza, formerly of Dundee United, Brighton and St. Johnstone, has the right to appeal.
