This was reported on the official website of FC Split.
“As of today (November 4, 2015), Artem Milevsky is no longer a player of FC Split. His contract with the club is terminated due to serious violations of the rules by Milevsky. He betrayed the trust placed in him by his coaches and teammates. We regret that it ended this way as we had other plans,” the club said in an official statement.
“When I invited Artem Milevsky to move to Split, I was sure that he would become a full-fledged member of the club for the agreed period. Initially, I introduced him to the code of conduct that applies to all players at the club. Unfortunately, he did not comply with the code and our personal agreement. Therefore, terminating the contract is a logical decision,” said Split coach Abbas Saad.
The agreement was terminated due to the player's behavior outside the football field. As Tribuna.com reported with reference to the Croatian publication Vecernji list, Milevski was stopped by a police patrol on the night of Monday, November 2, for driving while intoxicated. In addition, the 30-year-old football player did not have documents with him. The police detained the Ukrainian and took him to the police station.
Let us remind you that in early October Artem Milevsky signed a 1,5-year contract with the Croatian club RNK Split.
