Former AmaZulu coach Pablo Franco Martin has shared a farewell message and words of thank you to the Usuthu family after he was relieved of his duties earlier in the week.
Usuthu had a bad start to the season, losing all three matches against Polokwane City, Kaizer Chiefs, and Marumo Gallants, which made the club decide to release Martin after more than a year with the club.
The former Simba SC coach was grateful to the AmaZulu owners for the opportunity that was given to him.
“After nearly a year and a half of intense work, dedication, and enjoyment in the day-to-day process of leading AmaZulu FC, I would first like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the club and the Zungu family for their trust and support,” he wrote.
“A special thanks to the staff for their professionalism and commitment, to the players for their effort and affection, to all the club’s employees for their invaluable work every day.
“And to the fans, because your support, wherever we traveled, has meant the world. We have shared unforgettable moments, and I am proud to have contributed to the club’s growth and leave a legacy in such a unique region and wonderful country.
“The Premier Soccer League will always hold a special place in my heart. It is now time to embrace new challenges and embark on new adventures.
“From now on there will always be another member of the Usuthu family wherever I am.”
AmaZulu, who are yet to confirm Martin’s successor, only return to action on 25 October when they will face high-flying Orlando Pirates when the league resumes.
