Leopards part ways with head coach Dylan Kerr
Black Leopards have confirmed that they have parted ways with head coach Dylan Kerr following their defeat by Chippa United this past weekend.
Following their 2-0 victory over Orlando Pirates at the Thohoyandou Stadium last weekend, Lidoda Duvha conceded back-to-back defeats in the DStv Premiership by Cape Town City and, most recently. Chippa United.
As a result of their recent form, Leopards have now decided to part ways with Kerr, who joined the club in November 2020 after leaving fellow PSL side Baroka.
The club also confirmed that assistant coaches Morgan Shivambu and Lehlohonolo Seema as well goalkeeper-coach Sam Banda will take control of the team in the interim.
'Black Leopards FC and their coach Dylan Kerr have reached an agreement to part ways amicably,' a club statement read.
'Assistant coaches Morgan Shivambu and Lehlohonolo Seema together with goalkeeper coach Sam Banda will be responsible for the team in the meantime.'
