Another DStv Premiership outfit, Swallows FC have parted ways with a coach, Dylan Kerr, just after suffering to a 4-0 defat last weekend.
Kerr was retained by the Dube Birds after saving the club relegation at the end of the previous season, but his men struggled to collect maximum points this term.
Based in Dobsonville in Soweto, Swallows announced the news of Kerr’s sacking on Wednesday evening through social media channels such as Facebook and Twitter.
The divorce between the club and the coach comes after media reports emerged that he was summoned to a meeting where it seems his future was decided.
“Swallows FC have parted ways with head coach Dylan Kerr. We would like to thank Coach Kerr for the contribution he made to the club and wish him well in his future endeavours,” a statement on Twitter read.
Kerr joined Swallows in November last season when they were bottom of the log in the DStv Premiership.
Under his management, Kerr, led the club through the relegation play-offs as they finished 15th with only four wins in 30 matches.
The former Black Leopards and Baroka FC boss has struggled with work permit issues which meant that Saturday’s 4-0 loss to Arrows was the first time he was in the dugout this season.
As they are placed Swallows are currently in 14th on the DStv Premiership log with two wins from eight games, pressure is mounting on the management to secure a seasoned coach to guide the club from relegation.
One of the oldest clubs in the South African elite division, Swallows have to ensure they avoid playing in the play-offs this season and will have to fine-tune their strategy during the ongoing FIFA International break.
Meanwhile, the club follows trigger-happy Chippa United who axed Daine Klate following their 1-0 loss to defending league champions, Mamelodi Sundowns about a fortnight ago.
On the other hand, Marumo Gallants have announced the return of Dan Malesela on Tuesday, ‘Dance’ dramatically dumped Shauwn Mkhize’s Royal AM after joining them in July.
