It has turned out to be a bleak Christmas for Kaitano Tembo after he was fired by Richards Bay FC on Monday.
In a brief statement, the DStv Premiership side confirmed that it had parted ways with Tembo as head coach of the club, with the league match against Kaizer Chiefs serving as his last.
“Richards Bay Football Club would like to announce the release of the head coach Mr. Kaitano Tembo with immediate effect.
“The club would like to thank the coach for his contribution during this season. We wish him all the best in his future endeavors,” the statement read.
Vusumuzi Vilakazi will take over as the KZN club’s interim coach.
