Kumasi Asante Kotoko have made a payment of $47,000 to former coach Hans Dieter Schmidt, according to GHANAsoccernet.com.
The amount is the first of a series file://ns-ad-westpub/Reading/Sports/Kotoko%20Pay%20$47,000%20To%20Schmidt.doc of payments to be made to the 66-year-old German for his wrongful dismissal in 2005.
FIFA had ruled last month that the Kumasi-based club pay a whopping 99,000 Euros in fines to Schmidt within 30-days or risk getting relegated to Ghana's third tier competition.
It is thus believed the club and representatives of Schmidt have agreed to a payment scheme file://ns-ad-westpub/Reading/Sports/Kotoko%20Pay%20$47,000%20To%20Schmidt.doc after the 30-day ultimatum expired earlier this week.
Kotoko intends making the second tranche of payments which is at this point unspecified by today.
