Heric has resigned from his position

After a thrilling win for Bafana against Cameroon, it is sad to announce that Bay United Head Coach, Vladislav Heric has resigned from his position with immediate effect (19 Nov 2008).

Heric handed in his resignation after a meeting with the clubs board of directors on the 18th.

Heric resigned stating his unhappiness at recommendations made by the board at the meeting which included - Team selection, management etc...

Heric considered the Board’s interventions to be undue interference with his duties.

It's extremely sad that we have to part ways with a coach that has done so much for Bay United and football in the region, lets hope that it is the first and last incident of its kind.

We would also like to thank Coach Heric for everything he has done in bringing football back to the Eastern Cape. Umlilo fans are eternally grateful and we wish you all the success from here on.

Goalkeeper coach Pernel McKop will act as the head coach until a replacement is found.
