South Africans on Facebook commented on the shocking news and said that Arthur Zwane might replace him.

Meshack Zwoitwa Rotenda Ramalivhana said:

“Arthur Zwane will be caretaker coach until the end of the season.”

“He was never supposed to be there to begin with. Had a good coach on the line with an excellent track record in Africa, coming with his own technicals. Instead, they chose the cheaper experiment."

Mr Mlambo II remarked:

“This is a bad decision. This guy tried so much and Chiefs improved.”

M Jay Moloi added:

“The first mistake was appointing him as head coach.”

Ntombela Syanda wrote:

“What a beautiful Monday.”

“Wow, you made my day!”
