Marumo Gallants suspend Alexandre Lafitte over contractual breach and poor results

Marumo Gallants have officially announced the immediate suspension of head coach Alexandre Lafitte on Monday, 2 March 2026.

In a statement, the club explained that the decision was taken due to “issues relating to a failure to comply with contractual duties” as well as a severe decline in on-field performance.

Gallants, who have struggled to find consistency this season, now face further uncertainty as they prepare for upcoming fixtures without their head coach. The suspension marks a significant turning point for the club, which will need to stabilize quickly to avoid slipping deeper into trouble.

The club has not yet confirmed who will take charge of the team in the interim, but an announcement is expected in the coming days.
