AmaZulu fire coach Truter

DURBAN – AmaZulu have fired Brandon Truter after losing at home to rookies Richards Bay on Wednesday, making him yet another early season coaching casualty.

He follows on the departure of Romain Folz at Marumo Gallants, Daine Klate at Chippa United and Dylan Kerr at Swallows FC, also sacked for poor results. Truter has left Usuthu placed ninth on the PSL standings with 11 points from nine matches, but they are just three points behind thirdplaced SuperSport United.

AmaZulu are also in control of their MTN8 semifinal tie against Kaizer Chiefs having held the Soweto giants to a 1-1 draw away in the first-leg clash last weekend. Usuthu are leading on the away goals rule ahead of the second-leg match which will be played at their home ground, Moses Mabhida Stadium on October 23.

The Durban-based side will travel to the iconic Orlando Stadium where they are scheduled to face Orlando Pirates in a PSL encounter on October 14. The club’s management is yet to announce who will take charge of the team following Truter’s departure.

Siyabonga Nomvethe and Kamaal Sait have been serving as Truter’s two assistants, but it is unclear whether they will be entrusted with leading the team. Truter’s departure was announced in a statement in which the team thanked him for his cooperation and hard work for the club and wished him luck in his future career.

Truter had previously won the National First Division in 2020 and took them to a top eight finish in their first season in the top flight, where they also set a new record for the most number of draws. He began his career as a youth coach at Santos.

The 40-year-old has already been ordered to pay £1.5 million of her rival’s legal fees, with £800 000 transferred by November 15. But she’ll also have to pay her own eye-watering fees - which have been put at £2 017 860 - plus approximately £200 000 of additional trial costs, which could bring the final total to around £3.7 million. A defiant Rebekah taunted her rival Coleen last night with a series of Instagram posts saying she should donate the money she owes her to charity. And she could certainly afford to do so given the estimated £134 million fortune she had amassed with her husband Wayne, which dwarfs the Vardys’ own net worth - put at roughly £15 million.
