“While an agreement in principle had been reached and a working relationship had commenced, a formal contract had not yet been finalized.” Read a statement from SC Villa President Omar Mandela
Meanwhile, the club confirmed that the search for a new head coach will continue
“The Club is very deliberate to ensure that it sets a strong foundation for it to be one of the great Clubs and a leading talent conveyor belt on the Continent. The search for a Head Coach for the next season continues and the Club fans shall be updated in due course.”
