Former Hearts of Oak Technical Director Rene Hiddink has received a $146,000 settlement from the Ghana Premier League club, potentially clearing their FIFA-imposed transfer ban. The transfer ban was put in place due to a dispute over unpaid salaries between Hiddink and the Phobians. Hiddink subsequently took legal action to recover the outstanding payments.
