West Brom boss Bilic wins staggering £12.5M pay-out

West Brom boss Slaven Bilic is set for a massive pay-out from his time in Saudi Arabia.

The Mirror says Bilic is due a staggering pay-out from his old club Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia which could be worth up to £12.5million.

Bilic took charge of the Pro League side in September 2018 on a lucrative deal until June 2021.

But Bilic, 51,now in charge of West Brom, was sacked in February 2019 just five months later after only 17 games.

He enlisted Fifa to help get his compensation from Al-Ittihad, who have now been ordered to pay-up around £12.5m within 30 days.

Bilic's assistants Dean Racunica and Danilo Butorovic are also due to receive compensation under the ruling.
