Season low in South Africa! PSL club ready to sack coach after just one month in charge
South African club Richards Bay is on the verge of parting ways with head coach Dimitar Pantev, who took charge of the team barely a month ago.
Details: According to respected South African outlet FARPost, the club's hierarchy is deeply concerned by the team's latest results under the Bulgarian coach. As a result, the Richards Bay board has initiated urgent talks with the manager, after which a final decision will be made regarding his future in the role.
The team's rapid slide down the standings and the lack of progress in its tactical setup are pushing the club's bosses toward sweeping changes. The parties are expected to discuss the financial terms of terminating the employment contract in detail in the coming hours, after which the club will begin its search for a new head coach.
It is worth noting that the South African Premier League has traditionally been marked by a high level of intolerance among club owners toward setbacks, meaning managerial changes in the local championship often happen at record speed.
