Betway Premiership side Marumo Gallants has announced the departure of 11 players, including former Bafana Bafana striker Dino Ndlovu.
The players who are set to exit include Junior Dion and Yanga Mjoli, who were on loan from AmaZulu FC.
The Mangaung-based club finished in 10th position last season under the guidance of Abdeslam Ouaddou. But the French-Moroccan coach has also decided to leave the club after just a few months at the helm.
Surprisingly, the club is yet to acknowledge his resignation, indicating that they never received an official notification about Ouaddou’s departure.
Gallants were reportedly preparing to take legal action against Ouaddou. According to media reports, the club argues that he signed a new two-year contract with them before he resigned.
