Fifth coach sacked in Motsepe Foundation as coaching carousel continues
The Motsepe Foundation Championship coaching carousel has continued with the sacking of a fifth coach in less than two months.
Five clubs in the new NFD season have already pulled the trigger on their coaches, citing poor results.
Amongst clubs that have already fired coaches are Baroka FC [Stanford Nkoane] Milford FC [Asanda Mvalo] Black Leopards [Alejandro Dorado] and Venda Football Academy [Joel Masutha].
The fifth coaching casualty comes from Casric Stars who had a poor start to the Motsepe Foundation Championship season.
Stars won two games in the league, drew two and lost three which prompted the club’s hierarchy to make changes. They are currently sitting eighth on the second-tier log with eight points.

Casric Stars have announced the departure of their head coach Ashwin Sutton after a poor start to the season.
“Casric Stars wishes to announce that we have parted ways with our head coach Mr Ashwin Sutton effective immediately,” the club announced.
“We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to Mr Sutton for his dedication and hard work during his tenure with the club.
“Mr Sutton joined Casric Stars at a pivotal moment in our history and his contribution to the team has been invaluable.
“Under his leadership, the club achieved significant milestones. We will forever appreciate his passion, commitment and the positive impact he has had on our players and staff.
“While Mr Sutton will no longer be with us, we wish him all the best in his future endeavours. We are confident that he will continue to excel in his career.”
Stars came close to gaining promotion to the top flight last season. However, they lost out in the promotion/relegation playoffs.
Cape Town Spurs overpowered Maritzburg United and Casric Stars in the playoffs to gain promotion to the PSL.
