Willard Katsande quits as Rangers head coach after only two months

The former Kaizer Chiefs midfielder was appointed this season on a one-year contract but only last 54 days.

Katsande oversaw seven games, including one win, four draws, and two defeats, and he leaves the club in 18th place on the league standings.

He explained that a non payment of salaries and poor working conditions made his job untenable.

"Please accept this letter as a formal notice of my resignation from my position as Head Coach of Rangers FC, effective immediately," wrote Katsande in his resignation letter as reported by FARPost.

"Despite my commitment to the role and repeated efforts to address concerns, I have decided to resign due to the treatment and working conditions I have experienced, which are not in line with professional standards, including:

"Non-payment of remuneration: To date, I have not received any salary since the commencement of my contract, nor the agreed sign-on fee, contrary to our agreement.

"Unsuitable living conditions: The accommodation provided by the club is unsuitable and has not been addressed despite being raised with management. These issues, amongst others, have made it untenable for me to perform my duties to the standard the players and the supporters deserve.

“I request that any outstanding monies owed to me be settled in line with our agreement. I remain committed to player development and wish the players and technical staff well for the rest of the season.”
