Keegan awarded £2m for Newcastle dismissal

Kevin Keegan has been awarded two million pounds (2.1 million euros) in damages after winning his case against Newcastle for constructive dismissal.

The independent arbitration panel arranged by the Premier League found in Keegan’s favour following his departure from the club in September last year.

Announcing its decision, the panel said in a statement: “We declare that Kevin Keegan was constructively dismissed by Newcastle United Football Club Ltd, for which Newcastle United Football Club Ltd must pay to Kevin Keegan damages in the sum of two million pounds plus interest to be assessed if not agreed.”
