Nico Schiappacasse terminates Amazonas FC contract over unpaid wages

Uruguayan striker Nico Schiappacasse has terminated his contract with the Brazilian club Amazonas FC, citing unpaid wages. The 27-year-old player, who was the top scorer in the Série C competition, declared himself a free agent after the club failed to meet its financial obligations.

Schiappacasse had been performing strongly for Amazonas, scoring seven goals in the Série C tournament. His agency confirmed the rescission for just cause due to the club's failure to pay outstanding salaries. This follows a pattern for the club, as several other players have previously sought legal means to terminate their contracts over similar wage delays.

Formerly a highly touted prospect at Atlético de Madrid, Schiappacasse has had a career marked by various loans across Europe, including stints at Parma, Famalicão, and Sassuolo, before moving to the Brazilian league.
