Ex-Azkals coach upset over unreturned items

MANILA, Philippines � Former Azkals coach Simon McMenemy lashed out at his ex-wards,after the Philippine Football Federation (PFF) reportedly failed to ship his �possessions� back to him.

McMenemy, who coached the national booters in their ASEAN Football Federation Suzuki Cup stint last year, vented on Twitter regarding the late delivery of his possessions.

�How difficult is it to forward someone's possessions? Was promised 4 months ago that they were sent. Azkals really letting me down,� he tweeted.

McMenemy, however, was apparently informed that his things will be returned sooner.

�Right, tomorrow I regain some of my possessions. Azkals better pull their finger out. Ruining my time there,� he said.

Meanwhile, Azkals team manager Dan Palami said actions have already been taken regarding McMenemy�s request.

�I have been informed that he asked that his stuff be shipped to Vietnam,� Palami told abs-cbnNEWS.com.

�All I know is that in January (the staff) already had his things inventoried and packed, and already gave the money for the shipping costs,� he added.

Palami, however, interpreted the incident as a "slight misunderstanding that will certainly be resolved in time."

McMenemey has been putting on a sour face after his coaching contract with the Azkals expired last December 31.

Feeling �disrespected,� the British coach ranted online on the PFF�s supposed failure to relay that he will no longer be coaching the team.

�No call, email, text, nothing. Been told by a friend who watched it on TV, this is not how to treat people,� he had tweeted.

The Azkals hired Hans Michael Weiss of Germany early this year to replace McMenemy.
