Motsepe Foundation Championship side Highbury FC have parted ways with Vusumuzi Vilakazi and appointed Clinto Larsen as new head coach.
Vilakazi, 44, had joined the club ahead of the current campaign and started with four wins, three draws and three defeats.
The Eastern Cape-based club are sitting in eighth place on the MFC log, but had won just one out of their last seven league games, leading to Vilakazi’s dismissal.
“Highbury FC confirms the departure of its Head Coach, Vusumuzi Vilakazi,” the club stated on Tuesday.
“The club would like to place on record its appreciation for the coach’s contribution, commitment and efforts during his time at Highbury FC.
“We thank him for the work he has put into the club and the role he has played in our journey. We wish him every success in his future endeavours, both professionally and personally.”
Just a day later, Highbury have now unveiled Larsen as their new head coach. Larsen himself had recently been sacked by Venda Football Club after starting the campaign with two draws and four defeats.
Nevertheless, Highbury appointed the former Magesi FC head coach, announcing his arrival on Thursday.
“Welcome to Highbury FC Coach Clinton Larsen,” the club stated.
“We are excited for the next chapter journey.”
