Marumo Gallants have announced that head coach Alexandre Lafitte has been suspended with immediate effect.
With Marumo Gallants floating above the relegation zone in the Betway Premiership heading into the month of March, the club recently confirmed that Alexandre Lafitte has been suspended with an internal disciplinary process pending.
As it stands, Gallants are in 14th position, level on points (15) with Orbit College who occupy the Relegation Play-off spot after 19 matches.
The news comes after Gallants suffered a 1-0 loss to Durban City this past Sunday, a result that saw the club record five losses in succession.
Revealed in a club statement, Gallants expressed that Lafitte failed to meet contractual duties.
“Marumo Gallants F.C. confirms that Head Coach Alexandre Lafitte has been suspended with immediate effect, pending an internal disciplinary process,” Gallants said in an official statement.
“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.”
