South African club Black Leopards have parted ways with Ghanaian coach Maxwell Konadu following a string of disappointing results.
The decision comes after a 2-1 defeat to Lerumo United on Saturday, which left the club in 10th place in the Motsepe Foundation Championship with 23 points from 17 matches—11 points behind league leaders Durban City FC.
Konadu, who was appointed in July 2024 on a three-year contract after leaving Nsoatreman FC, was tasked with guiding Black Leopards back to the Betway Premiership. However, his tenure failed to produce the expected turnaround.
The former Ghana international previously served as an assistant coach for the Black Stars under managers such as Otto Addo, Milovan Rajevac, Chris Hughton, Kwesi Appiah, and Avram Grant.
Following his departure, reports indicate that the club is considering Venda Football Academy coach Stan Nkoane as a potential replacement.
