This publication revealed on Friday that Da Cruz had been approached by the FRMF a fortnight ago with a lucrative offer, and the Naturena-based outfit have now confirmed that the Frenchman has left the club for North Africa.

“I would like to thank Kaizer Chiefs, Chairman and all the supporters for the welcome and affection they gave from the first day I landed in South Africa,” Da Cruz told Chiefs’ official website.
“Thank you to the players, staff and everyone involved for making sure that everything was fantastic for me. I wish this great Club everything of the best.”
Despite his brief spell, Chiefs in turn extended their gratitude to Cruz for the work he has put in during his short stint.
“As Kaizer Chiefs, we would like to thank coach Fernando for his contributions to the team and the commitment he has shown during his time with us,” the club said.
“The Club fully supports his decision and wishes him all the best for the future.”
Amakhosi are expected to make a technical team announcement soon on who will replace Cruz.
