Greek side AEK Athens have parted company with their Nigerian defender Ifeanyi Udeze barely six months after he joined from another Greek side PAOK.
A statement from the club said : "Following a mutual agreement, Ifeanyi Udeze has been released from his duties at AEK."
Udeze, who last played for the Super Eagles in October 2005, is part of a 20-man Nigeria squad for a friendly against Ghana on 6 February in London.
"It''s a sad development for me, I have to close this chapter and move on to another,? Udeze told BBC Sport.
He last played for AEK in October before he picked up a knee injury, that needed surgery.
Udeze also fell out with coach Lorenzo Serra Ferrer and the problems came to a head last week when Udeze was banned from training with the rest of the team.
A meeting with the club''s president failed to resolve the crisis.
The defender also angered the club in September when he was fined US$10,000 when he returned late from a holiday.
