New Dawn As Coach Officially Departs PSL Club

Cavin Johnson will officially be available to coach a third club this season, should he get another opportunity and is keen, after he officially parted ways with Black Leopards today. 

Leopards had initially put the coach on suspension earlier in the week, following a string of disappointing results by the team since the start of the year, with the Limpopo outfit issuing the following statement on Monday, through their spokesperson Berry Ramunenyiwa, “Black Leopards FC suspended coach Cavin Johnson with immediate effect today, 27/01/2020. Allan Clark was appointed caretaker coach in the meantime.”
