Colombian star James Rodríguez released by Olympiacos after brief tenure and cup elimination

James Rodríguez, the Colombian international forward, was released by Olympiacos after less than a year with the Greek club.
In 23 appearances for Olympiacos, Rodríguez scored 5 goals but the club was knocked out of the Greek Cup and trails in the league title race.
Olympiacos thanked Rodríguez for his contributions but decided to terminate his contract after the club's struggles this season.
Rodríguez, who starred in the 2014 World Cup, is now without a club and seeking a new team to continue his career.
