“Following an extensive review and discussions with Shaun Bartlett and taking into consideration the current set of results- we have mutually agreed to the termination of the Head Coaches contract with immediate effect,” said the club’s statement.
“The club wish to place on record our appreciation for Shaun’s work during his time at the club most significantly promoting the club back to the PSL.
“We recognise this is not an easy decision for all parties, but it has been taken with the club’s long-term interest at heart.
“Everyone at Cape Town Spurs wishes Shaun Bartlett all the best in his future coaching career.”
Spurs CEO Alexi Efstathiou and Technical Director Sean Connor have already begun the restructuring of the coaching set-up at the club.
A shortlist of candidates has been identified and an announcement is expected imminently.
