Papic released by PiratesOrlando Pirates have agreed to release coach Kosta Papic from his contract after the coach handed in his resignation last week.
Papic met with Irvin Khoza on tuesday morning following the team's return from Sudan, where they lost 1-3 in an African Champions League match against Al Hilal on Sunday but qualified to the group stages on the away goals rule.
The club announced that assistant coach Tebogo Moloi would lead the team in the remaining two matches against Sundowns (May 13) and the Absa Cup final against Kaizer Chiefs on May 22 assisted by Moma Medic.
Khoza said they hope to announce a new coach before the start of the Vodacom Challenge in July. This follows the club's agreement to release Papic from his contract. Khoza also revealed that this was the coach's second resignation in four months. He said the management considered all the facts at its disposal.
The chairman said the team has taken into consideration that in December 2005 Papic tendered his resignation. "The current resignation of the coach is therefore the second to be considered by the Orlando Pirates Football management in one season.
“In his resignation the coach states unaccomplished results and unachieved ambitions; he further states that his moral and professional duty obligates him to resign."
