Akosua Puni apologises to FC Como players for salary delay

FC Como President Akosua Puni Essien has apologised to the players and staff of the team following a delay in the payment of their outstanding salaries.

Puni, who is married to Ghana star Michael Essien, had faced financial difficult since acquiring the club at an auction early this year.

Akosua Puni Essien has had to render an apology for the delay to settle the salary arrears which she attributes to a "technical" difficulty.

"I'm sorry for this delay, of a technical nature: I guarantee that the money for the club was sent," Gianluca Savoini, spokesman for the new owner of Como FC said.
