Despite reaching the Carling Knockout Cup semi-final, Richards Bay fired coach Brandon Truter after poor results, leaving them at the bottom of the PSL log after nine matches.

Truter only started his second stint at the Natal side at the start of the season after the club decided to fire Vusumuzi Vilakazi before the start of the season.

Vusumuzi Vilakazi

Vilakazi saved Richards Bay from relegation via the PSL playoffs last season, but it was not enough to keep his job at the Natal Rich Boyz.

The former striker has since found a new job as the co-coach of PSL rivals AmaZulu FC alongside former Kaizer Chiefs tactician Arthur Zwane.

Sead Ramovic

Sead Ramovic shocked the nation when he left TS Galaxy in early November 2024 after six matches in the 2024/2025 season.

Tanzanian side Young Africans have since hired Ramovic, while he temporarily left the PSL side during pre-season after accepting a move to Raja Athletic, which collapsed at the last minute.

Pablo Franco Martin

PSL side AmaZulu replaced Spaniard Pablo Franco Martin with co-coaches Vilakazi and Zwane after Usuthu lost their first three matches of the current campaign.

Since his dismissal, the Spaniard has publicly expressed his disappointment with the Natal side by saying he wanted more time at the club.

Peter Hybala and Dylan Kerr

Both Peter Hyballa and Dylan Kerr suffered exits from the PSL before a ball was kicked and collectively spent just over a month in Mzansi.

Hyballa was replaced at Sekhukhune United by former coach Lehlohonolo Seema, while Marumo Gallants parted ways with Kerr after disagreements with club management.

Benni McCarthy has dreams of coaching outside of Mzansi

As Briefly News reported, Bafana Bafana legend Benni McCarthy said he had three interviews with MLS sides while he continued his search for a new job.
