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.

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.
