Kaizer Chiefs have confirmed that they have parted ways with coach Ernst Middendorp with immediate effect.
Middendorp paid the price for losing the 2019/20 Absa Premiership title to Mamelodi Sundowns on the last day despite being on top for virtually the entire season.
Chiefs Chairman Kaizer Motaung said the way the team played was one of the aspects they considered before taking the decision.
“We deliberated and considered many aspects related to the team, including our way of playing, our performances and the results before coming to the decision. Motaung said
“We truly believed and hoped that our 50th anniversary year would be better, and it indeed looked promising. The decision taken is part of a strategy to have the team win trophies again and to make our supporters happy because they deserve better.”
Middendorp joined Chiefs on 7 December 2018 and still had one year remaining on his contract.
