Botswana Premier League giant Township Rollers have parted ways with their Serbian coach Nikola Kavazovic by mutual consent.
This has been confirmed by the club’s chairman, Walter Kgabung, saying that the two parties are no longer together.
“We have parted ways with Kavazovic, but on mutual consent, so he will no longer be with us from now henceforth.”
“Right now we are on the lookout to find the suitable candidate to fill his void; we have not yet decided who it will be, but once we do we will communicate.”
Kavazovic arrived in Gaborone in July last year, where he signed a two-year contract with premiership champions.
On March this year, the coach hinted that he could be leaving the club with various reports linking him to South African side, Free State Stars.

However, the latest reports indicate that the well-traveled gaffer will be joining another Premier Soccer League side, Baroka FC where he is set to replace Zambian coach Walter Nyirenda.

After the Champions title in Maldives Dhivehi Premier League and securing AFC Cup group stage participation for New Radiant SC, Kavazovic decided not to extend his contract.
