Gallants will not be dancing to Dan Malesela’s tune anymore

"The contract of coach Dan Malesela will not be renewed when it expires at the end of this month," read the club statement.


Marumo Gallants have announced that the team will no longer be dancing to coach Da “Dance” Malesela’s tune. The Limpopo based side released a short statement on Friday afternoon announcing that they would not be renewing Malesela’s contract when it ends. 

Malesela guided the side to the Nedbank Cup final where they narrowly lost to Mamelodi Sundowns. They finished 10th in the DStv Premiership, a decent position considering it was their first season.
