Ivana Jakubcova has informed Uni Girona of the unilateral termination of the contract that tied her to our club. The Slovak player has exercised a contractual clause that allowed her to end her commitment after the EuroCup Women playoff.
Pere Puig, Uni Girona’s sporting director, commented on the player’s departure: “Yesterday, Friday, Ivana Jakubcova exercised a clause in her contract that allowed her to terminate it, as long as it was after the date of the EuroCup Women playoff we just played. She has used this clause because she received a better offer than the one she had in Girona, and Uni Girona has decided that we cannot match this offer. We agree that the player can leave and choose a new destination. We appreciate all her willingness and the ease she gave us in trying to reach a new agreement, but it is not possible for us.”
“We are aware that this is another setback and that the team is weakened by Ivana’s departure, Pierre-Louis’s injury, and Mack’s delayed arrival (who, by the way, is progressing very well, and we hope to have her with us in the coming weeks), but we have full confidence in the players and the technical staff, and we will continue this way for the upcoming games,” Pere Puig concluded.
Uni Girona thanks Ivana Jakubcova for her professionalism and dedication during the time she defended our colors and wishes her the best of luck in her new sporting chapter.
