With the 2024-2025 season coming to an end, coach Abdeslam Ouaddou announced the end of his time at the Marumo Gallants on Saturday, ending a job that lasted only three months after arriving last March to replace Dan Malesela, who also left the team.

Ouddou succeeded in the task entrusted to him by the management to keep the team out of the relegation zone, even though the team was suffering from a drop in form and the results were not going the way the fans wanted them to.

The Moroccan coach has played 12 matches with the team, winning five, drawing four and losing three.

What the trainer said about his departure!

Addressing the Bahlabane Ba Ntwa fans, he said: "This statement serves to formally conclude my tenure with Marumo Gallants FC. My time with the club has been an incredibly rewarding experience, working alongside the entire organization's dedicated personnel.

I extend my deepest gratitude to the players, club president, and all stakeholders who contributed - both directly and indirectly - to our collective mission of stabilizing the club. A special acknowledgment goes to our incredible supporters, whose passion I'll forever cherish.

The Bloemfontein community will always hold a special place in my heart. I wish nothing but success for Marumo Gallants and the talented players I've had the privilege to work with.

As I move forward, I'm actively seeking new opportunities and welcome discussions regarding ambitious projects that present fresh challenges."
