When Paul Kemsley sought to resurrect the New York Cosmos back in 2011, he enlisted some big names to be attached to the club.

None bigger than Eric Cantona.

Now the former Manchester United legend, who once donned the colors of the Cosmos in a giant billboard display in Times Square, is suing the current ownership group for an alleged breach of contract.

According to the Associated Press, Cantona alleges the Cosmos “never delivered on promises to pay him and provide a share of equity in the club.” Cantona, who was originally hired as the club’s “Director of Soccer,” is suing for $1 million in lost wages and a 4% equity that he alleges owed due to an “unjust” dismissal.

The lawsuit was filed Tuesday at a Manhattan district court.

The Cosmos privately terminated Cantona after an incident on March of 2014 where the Frenchman was arrested at a London pub for assaulting a paparazzi.

“I had a fight with a paparazzi whom I considered too intrusive,” Cantona told RL Radio shortly after the incident. “I spent three, four hours at the police station and I returned to Paris as planned. So they were bothering me, but I’m used to that.”

Clearly, Cantona did not believe the incident serious enough for dismissal.

EOS reached out to the New York Cosmos for comment on the report. William Primps, the New York Cosmos legal counsel, issued the following statement.

“Following his arrest in March 2014, the New York Cosmos terminated Mr. Cantona’s contract. We have not reviewed the complaint so we have no further comment at this time.”
