Sekhukhune United have parted ways with head coach Brandon Truter.
Recent reporting suggested Truter’s departure was imminent after both he and goalkeeper coach Johannes Abselom were absent from the club’s past two fixtures.
The 12th-placed DStv Premiership side confirmed the news in a statement released by the club.
Macdonald Makhubedu has since been appointed as interim head coach.
The club statement read: “The club would like to confirm that it has parted ways with Head Coach Brandon Truter.
“Given the highly competitive environment that the Premier Soccer League has become, coupled with the fact that getting positive results has become a major safeguard, the Club has decided that the recent results have not reinforced this notion and thus the need to part ways with Coach ‘Brakkies’.
