TS Galaxy coach, Owen Da Gama, fired
The Rockets have conceded 10 goals in five matches, and remain winless, this season.
TS Galaxy have parted ways with Owen Da Gama.
Following a string of poor results at the start of this season’s DStv Premiership, the club has severed ties with Da Gama with immediate effect.
A press release announcing Da Gama’s dismissal was sent to media houses a short while ago.
Da Gama took over the coaching reins at TS Galaxy Football Club in January, but The Rockets have endured turbulent times since the start of the DStv Premiership in the current season.
TS Galaxy are going through a barren run of results in the league, the latest a 4-2 defeat away to Royal AM on Sunday. After five league outings, the club is yet to register a victory.
As a result, the Rockets are bottom of the table with two points after five games.
Both parties took an amicable decision to cut ties.
TS Galaxy FC President, Tim Sukazi, opened up about the decision to release Da Gama from his duties.
“TS Galaxy FC has parted ways with Coach Owen Da Gama.
“This is one of those bitter pills that we had to swallow as a club, given the kind of contribution that Coach Owen has made to our club.
“Unfortunately we have had a faulty start to the season and with football being a result-driven business, decisions like this are bound to be taken at some point or another if results aren’t forthcoming.
“Our new focus from now on is to get the team back on track.
“Coach Shaun Bartlett is taking over the reins in an interim capacity until a final decision on the head coach is made,” Sukazi said.
“The club would like to thank Coach Owen for the valuable contribution that he has made at TS Galaxy Football Club and wishes him success in his future endeavours,” Sukazi said.
