Kaizer Chiefs confirms sacking of assistant Coach John Paintsil

South African Club Kaizer Chiefs have parted ways with ex-Ghana international John Paintsil, the Club confirmed on Thursday.

Paintsil was working as the assistant Coach for the ABSA Premier League side.

The former Black Stars defender leaves Chiefs with a year left on his contract.

The ex-West Ham star was reported to have been involved in a money scandal which is believed to have fueled the Club’s decision to abrogate the contract.

A Club statement reads: Kaizer Chiefs and John Paintsil have come to an agreement to terminate his contract as the assistant coach of the Club with effect from 6 June 2017. His contract was due to expire in June 2018.

Both parties have signed a separation agreement, the terms of which are confidential.

The Club thanks John for his contribution and wish him well for his future endeavours.
