Premiership club Marumo Gallants FC have made a decision regarding the future of their head coach, Dan Malesela.
Malesela was placed on special leave by the Free State club for reasons known only to both parties.
During his absence, the club struggled significantly, suffering a heavy 8-1 defeat to Orlando Pirates and a 1-0 loss to Sekhukhune United.
