Orlando Pirates head coach resigns

Orlando Pirates' head coach has resigned after a short stint with the team.

Kjell Jonevret

Kjell Jonevret's resignation comes only days after Orlando Pirates lost the Carling Cup final against Kaizer Chiefs.



Jonevret had been appointed as the head coach of the Buccaneers on 20 February.



Orlando Pirates chairperson Irvin Khoza has accepted Jonevret's resignation and says there's a lot of expectation from a coach at a club such as Pirates. 



Khoza says: "I wish Kjell Jonevret well in his future endeavours."



Jonevret has thanked Khoza, the Club and its supporters for giving him an opportunity to coach the club.



"I would like to thank the Club for the opportunity. Unfortunately it didn't work out as planned. I wish the Club and its supporters all the best for the future," he said.
