Durban City strike again, fire Orlando Pirates legend!

Durban City are at it again, and they have now fired another coach in the form of Orlando Pirates legend Daine Klate.

Klate was roped in City’s DStv Diski Challenge team coach at the start of the current campaign.

His appointment was hugely influenced by Gavin Hunt who also joined Durban City at the start of the season but was recently fired.

The two coaches have a good working relationship with Klate having played under Hunt for years in different teams.

It was Hunt who turned Klate into a star while they were at SuperSport United before the pair reunited at Bidvest Wits.

Now, both Hunt and Klate will have to find new clubs as Durban City search for their replacements.
