Maritzburg confirm Davids departure

Published on

Maritzburg United have announced that the club has parted ways with head coach Fadlu Davids.

Davids met with the club on Sunday, following their defeat to Baroka over the weekend which saw them rooted to the foot of the Absa Premiership standings with 11 points from 14 matches played so far this season.

Under the guidance of Davids, the club attained their highest league finish (eighth), while he helped the Team of Choice reach the Nedbank Cup final for the first time in the club’s history.

However, the 37-year-old’s sacking came after they claimed only one win in 13 games, which included eight draws and five defeats this season.

The Team of Choice released the following statement on the matter, which reads:

‘Maritzburg United can confirm that coach Fadlu Davids has left the club. We would like to thank Davids for his contribution to the club and wish him success in his future endeavours.

‘An announcement on a new head coach will be made in due time. Once again the club would like to reiterate its commitment to the fans and its stakeholders.
