Oliseh had been under fire with the higher-ups at Fortuna Sittard with the club suffering four defeats in a row and he fell out with the owner of the club Isitan Gün, who was unhappy with his behavior
''Several attempts by the club to encourage a change in the coach's behaviour have unfortunately not worked, resulting in an unworkable situation," Fortuna Sittard said in a press release.
"The board of Fortuna Sittard emphasizes that the decision to suspend Sunday Oliseh is not motivated by the current sporting performance.
"The coach's unacceptable actions have made cooperation between many people within the organization impossible - from players to employees.
