Erstwhile Winnerspark player Isaac “Wacko” Senyolo has resigned as head coach of the much improved Hollywood bets Men’s regional league side FC Rellen due to Sangoma interference in the selection of players.
The 49 year-old mentor who joined the Senamokgope based side in September this year said he quit his job after a sangoma who was recommended to him by some of the players prior to a tournament, started to interfere with his game plan and team selection during the game.
“She came to our bench and started giving me instructions on where to play certain players and which player I should substitute. I am a legend and a qualified coach therefore I cannot be told who to substitute and what tactics to use during the game. That’s why I resigned” he said.
Club boss Rellen Masipa confirmed Senyolo’s resignation but remarked that it was the coach himself who brought the sangoma to the club. “The coach brought the sangoma and they made their own arrangements. He asked for my permission and I couldn’t say no to his believe. I received a message from him after the Runnymade Cluster tournament at Jamela stating his resignation, “said Masipa.
Senyolo’s assistant at FC Rellen has taken over the head coach position. The team is currently occupying position one on the league table following their 4-0 victory over Pipa Young Stars last weekend.
