Amoo's journey to salvation: From Copenhagen nightmare to Omonia Nicosia hope
Akinkunmi Amoo made only four appearances at Danish giants Copenhagen but can't wait to get back to work after switching to Omonia Nicosia.
He is now without club once again, as the Cypriot First Division side announced parting ways with him, citing “personal reasons.”
Omonoia’s statement
The club broadcast their decision via their various social media channels, penning a brief message to announce disengagement with the former Hammerby winger.
The statement was written in Greek, however, following translation from the X platform’s inbuilt Google translator, it read as follows:
“We inform you that Akinkunmi Amoo's contract has been terminated for personal reasons.”
“We thank the footballer for his cooperation and wish him the best in his career.”
Amoo’s salvation comes to abrupt end
As Pulse Sports reported earlier, the move in 2023 came as a form of salvation for the winger, as his career was rife with uncertainties following his one-year prison sentencing over sexual assault charges.

The Danish authorities filed criminal charges against him in April, July and August of 2022, leading to his arrest on September 10.
After spending almost a month in custody, he was released on bail on October 7th. Subsequently, Amoo was found guilty of the charges and convicted, resulting in a one-year prison sentence, according to veteran journalist Osasu Obayiuwana.
His career with Copenhagen came to an abrupt halt as he had not played for the club since July of the previous year.
However, Omonoia took a chance on him but have now released him for unspecified reasons.
