Kaizer Chiefs have announced the early termination of the contract of assistant coach Shaun Bartlett.
Following the sacking of Ernst Middendorp, Chiefs confirmed they have decided to part ways with the German coach’s assistant, Bartlett.
The former Bafana Bafana star joined the backroom staff upon Middendorp’s arrival at Naturena, but after shockingly missing out on the league title, Chiefs are looking to clean house.
The club made the announcement on Thursday morning via a statement on their website.
