FC Zürich terminate Benjamin Mendy's contract after only six months
Swiss Super League side FC Zürich has announced that French left-back Benjamin Mendy (31) has left the club after agreeing to a contract termination. The 31-year-old defender joined FC Zürich last February, also after terminating his contract with the then Ligue 2 side FC Lorient. Mendy signed a two-year contract with Les Merlus two years ago, after being cleared of rape and sexual assault charges. L'Equipe wrote a feature on Mendy's six-month spell in Switzerland, and the least that could be said is that very few people will regret the 2018 World Cup winner's exit. He only played eight games, but started only three. Mendy's time will be remembered by several high-profile on-pitch blunders. 'He did not deliver what was expected of a player of his status', said FC Zürich head coach Ricardo Moniz. 'His level of fitness is not up to what we expect from a player in this Championship.' Mendy was absent from FC Zürich's preseason training camp, officially through injury, but the outlet adds that the former Manchester City left-back has been seen attending a concert in Spain.
