Chippa United has fired coach Vladislav Heric – following an unconvincing act to save the club from relegation this season.
Heric’s departure from Chippa comes as a shock considering that out of the five league games he took charge he won two, drew two and lost one.
He won the club eight points from a possible 15, which is a third of the 25 they have now sitting second from bottom. He also lost in the Nedbank Cup final against Tshakhuma Tsha Madzinhandila.
The Serbian won games against Kaizer Chiefs and Stellenbosch then drew with Golden Arrows and Black Leopards.
The only league defeat that Chippa suffered under Heric was on Tuesday against Bloemfontein Celtic, which leaves them in relegation playoffs equation.
Heric was appointed as technical advisor last month but then took charge of the dressing room straight after Luc Eymael’s appointment was rescinded.
Chippa started the season with Lehlohonolo Seema then attempted to bring in Eymael before appointing Dan Malesela and then again appointing Eymael before backtracking a day later, after which Siyabulela Gwambi briefly took charge.
Chippa will have to ensure they win their winning remaining two matches in order to keep their chances of staying afloat are said to be eyeing former coach Seema as Heric’s replacement. Seema was recently fired by Leopards after a string of poor results.
