Former Kaizer Chiefs coach Molefi Ntseki FIRED again!

Marumo Gallants have fired head coach Dan Malesela and Technical Director Molefi Ntseki with immediate effect.

The club announced on Friday following their 3-1 loss against Mamelodi Sundowns this week. Gallants are currently in the relegation battle having only won four out of their 17 league matches.

Malesela was appointed head coach back in July last year and despite his team playing a good brand of football, results have been hard to come by.

Former Kaizer Chiefs coach Molefi Ntseki was appointed as the Technical Director of the club in November 2024. The appointment was made to strengthen the club’s technical department and improve the team’s performance. On Friday, Gallants announced that him and Malesela have been axed.

“Marumo Gallants FC has released Head Coach Dan Malesela and Technical Director Molefi Ntseki following the club’s struggle to improve its league standing,” the club said in a statement.

“Currently 14th on the log with just four wins from 17 matches, Gallants is looking for a fresh approach. The club appreciates their contributions and wishes them well in their future endeavours.

“In the interim, Assistant Coaches Sundra Govender and Duncan Lechesa will oversee the team while the process of appointing a permanent head coach is finalised.”

Marumo Gallants still have 13 more matches to save their season.
