LAGOS,
Nigeria`s Julius Berger have sacked 15 players in a massive reorganisation following the team`s ousting from the African Champions League.
"It`s a normal thing to drop and recruit players and Julius Berger`s case will not be any different. We saw what the players could do during the Champions League and decided to drop some of them," said Berger`s general manager Taiwo Ogunjobi.
Among the players sacked is Serge Bale, who was signed from
Africa Sports of the Ivory Coast before the commencement of this year`s African Cup. The striker failed to tie down a first-team place at the Lagos-based club.
The `Bridge Boys`, as the Nigerian club are known, failed to qualify for the semi-finals of the Champions League when they lost 1-0 to Mamelodi Sundowns of South Africa about two weeks ago.
