SuperSport United fire coach after poor run in South African Premier League

By Mark Ogagan

SuperSport United management have fired Head Coach Gavin Hunt (Pictured), after a poor run of results in the South African Betway Premier Soccer League (PSL).

The team recorded only one win in their last 10 Premiership outings.

This string of poor results has left United sitting dangerously second from the bottom on the log standings.

Meanwhile, former international goalkeeper, Andre Arendse and goalkeeper coach Grant Johnson have been appointed to act in interim capacity pending the appointment of a substantive coach.

“The board and management of the club have expressed their appreciation to Hunt for the work he has done as head coach over many years,” read a statement by the club.

“We remain convinced that Gavin still has much to contribute to South African and African football given his extensive knowledge and experience. We will always remain grateful for the impact he has had on the club and South African football.

“Andre Arendse will serve as an interim head coach with goalkeeper coach Grant Johnson as his assistant.”
