After only one month in the hot seat as coach of Black Leopards, Ivan Minnaert received his “marching orders”. Minnaert was on the bench for five matches. During this period, Leopards won two matches, drew two and lost one league and one Nedbank Cup match. On Tuesday, Minnaert confirmed that he had received an email stating that his three-year contract with the team had been terminated. It was uncertain whether the coach was being blamed for the team’s lacklustre performance.
