Egyptian midfielder Wael Reyad “Cheetos” revealed that he ended his contract with Austrian side Graz AK after the latter are now sure to be relegated at the end of the season.

“I have a relegation release clause in my contract and now I’ll be back to Egypt,” said Cheetos to FilGoal.com in a phone call.

Graz AK were sanctioned by the Austrian Football Association with a 28 point deduction for financial and administrative frauds and are sure to go down next season.

“I talked to the coach and told him that I’ll leave the club. I just asked to leave earlier to catch my exams at Cairo University in May. He had nothing against it and I should be back in the next few days.”

“It was a tough experience for me to work in such hard circumstances. I don’t regret it because I learned a lot now and i saw that even in Europe there are delaying in payments and several administrative troubles.”

“I was new to that and now I know that Ahli is a great club because we never lived in such conditions and all the players got their rights in time,” added Reyad.

Meanwhile, the 25-year-old midfielder said he is still under contract with Ahli to 2009 and he’ll look for a new club in case the Reds drop him next season.

Cheetos was transferred to Graz AK for a one year loan deal last January.
