Premier Soccer League (PSL) club Marumo Gallants look set to part ways with their head coach, Alexandre Lafitte.

The Frenchman was suspended on Monday as the team battles in the relegation zone, after losing five matches in a row.

“Marumo Gallants confirms that head coach Alexandre Lafitte has been suspended with immediate effect, pending an internal disciplinary process,” said Bahlabane Ba Ntwa.

“The suspension follows issues relating to a failure to comply with contractual duties. The Club has also not been performing to the expected standard in recent fixtures.

“The Club takes matters of governance, professionalism, and accountability seriously. As such, the necessary internal processes are being followed in line with the Club’s policies and contractual obligations.

“Management is concerned about the team’s current poor performance and will be announcing the acting Head Coach in due course.”

The Club added,” Marumo Gallants FC would like to assure its supporters, partners, and stakeholders that team operations continue as normal, and the team remains fully focused on preparations for the upcoming fixtures.

“The Club appreciates the continued support and understanding from its fans and partners during this period. Further communication will be issued if and when appropriate.”

Meanwhile, the club is also battling a legal matter with Moroka Swallows, taking Marumo Gallants in a bid to regain its Premier Soccer League status after the latter failed to make full payment of the R40 million purchase price a couple of years ago.
