Cape Town Spurs have taken a drastic step in their coaching department
following a poor start to the season. The DStv Premiership side, sitting
at the bottom of the standings, have parted ways with Head Coach Shaun
Bartlett.
The club announced the termination of Bartlett’s contract on their social
media platforms, citing an extensive review and results as the reasons for
the move.
The statement read: “Following an extensive review and discussions with
Shaun Bartlett and taking into consideration the current set of results –
we have mutually agreed to the termination of the Head Coaches contract
with immediate effect.

“The club wish to place on record our appreciation for Shaun’s work
during his time at the club most significantly promoting the club back to
the PSL. We recognise this is not an easy decision for all parties, but it
has been taken with the club’s long-term interest at heart. Everyone at
Cape Town Spurs wishes Shaun Bartlett all the best in his future coaching
career.”
The club have also announced the arrival of Sean Conner as their new
technical director and have already begun the re-structure of the coaching
set up. A shortlist of candidates has been identified and an announcement
is expected imminently.
News reaching the Siya crew is that assistant coach Nasief Morris as well
as Calvin Marlin have also parted ways with the club.
The decision to part ways with Bartlett comes after a difficult start to
the season for Cape Town Spurs, who are yet to register a win in the
Premiership.
The club will be hoping that their new coaching set up can help them turn
their fortunes around and climb up the standings.
