Shocking stats: Marumo Gallants justified to suspend Lafitte?
The last time Lafitte steered Marumo Gallants to victory in open play was in October 2025 when they beat Stellenbosch 4-0 in the Carling Cup.
Marumo Gallants have officially confirmed the suspension of head coach Alexandre Lafitte following a series of poor results.
Lafitte, who is currently the youngest coach in the PSL, joined Gallants in July 2025 to replace Abdeslam Ouaddou.
And while Lafitte had a promising start to his career in the PSL, things went from promising to worse for Gallants.
Now, Gallants may be considering sacking the 28-year-old mentor with several options presented to them.
Former Magesi FC coach John Maduka is reported to be among those in line to take over from Lafitte at Gallants.
LAFITTE’S SHOCKING STATS AT MARUMO GALLANTS
Now, according to OptaJabu, Gallants are the only PSL team that is yet to score a goal and collect a point since the start of 2026.
Gallants have already played five games this year, and it comes as a shock that neither of their players have been able to find the back of the net.
Furthermore, Bahlabane Bantwa are on a 12-match winless streak under Lafitte, which includes seven consecutive defeats.
WHAT ARE THE COACH’S OVERALL STATS?
Since taking over at the start of the season, Lafitte has been in charge of 24 matches across all competitions.
He has won six, drawn six and lost a whopping 12 in the process, including a 1-0 defeat to Orlando Pirates in the Carling Cup final.
