Dani Alves sacked by club over s*xual assault allegations

Mexico’s Pumas announced Friday that they had terminated Dani Alves’ contract after the veteran Brazil defender was arrested and remanded in custody in Spain on allegations of s*xual assault.

The Pumas, who signed Alves last July, “made the decision to terminate the player’s employment contract with just cause,” club president Leopoldo Silva told reporters.
