BRAZILIAN EFFECT: Arrows axe Seema after Sundowns whipping

The Lesotho born coach leaves the team in 10th position with 31 points after 24 matches.


Lehlohonolo Seema admitted that he had hardly prepared for Golden Arrows’ DStv Premiership fixture against Mamelodi Sundowns. He said this after his side were embarrassingly beaten 6-0 by the champions-elect. 

It could be that the Lesotho coach had an inkling of what was to come or he made the biggest blunder of his career. Either way, he has suffered the consequences for it.

Abafana Bes’thende announced through their social media platforms that they had parted ways with the former Bloemfontein Celtic mentor.

“Lamontville Golden Arrows and Lehlohonolo Seema have amicably parted ways with immediate effect. Vusumuzi Vilakazi and Mabhuti Khenyeza will serve as interim coaches until the end of the season,” reads the statement from the club.

Seema joined Abafana Bes’thende at the beginning of the season, taking over from Mandla Ncikazi who had had a good run taking them to fourth position, the highest they have ever finished. He leaves the team in 10th position with 31 points after 24 matches.
