Estavana Polman, world champion in handball with her Netherlands 2019, will leave Team Esbjerg already this summer - a year before the contract expires.
This is announced by the Danish top club today.
The 29-year-old's dispute with his employer began in early February.
In a Champions League match, she refused to be substituted, and was then poked for disciplinary reasons in the following league match.
- No one should sit over the team.
That's really the only thing I want to say.
We do a lot to protect our culture and our values where she has ended up outside the framework in recent days, said coach Jesper Jensen to Jydskevestkysten.
"Success story"
Polman has belonged to Esbjerg since 2013, during those years the club has become Danish champions three times.
- "Essie" has more than anyone else contributed to Team Esbjerg now belonging to the top of European club handball.
The collaboration has in every way been a success story for both parties, says chairman Bjarne Pedersen.
Esbjerg is second in the Danish league with one round left, and is ready for the playoffs.
