TS Galaxy head coach Sead Ramovic dropped a bombshell when he quit on live television after Wednesday night’s 1-1 draw against Stellenbosch FC.

The Rockets have made a poor start to the season, and Wednesday’s point at the Athlone Stadium in Cape Town was only their second from their six games.

Speaking to SuperSport after the game, made the announcement on live television, to the surprise of Mark Gleeson, who was conducting the post-match interview.

“I’d like to say, from now on, I will resign. I’m no more the head coach for this club,” said the German, who has been in charge of the club since 2021.

“We celebrate this victory for us, and the time will show,” said Ramovic, who confirmed to Gleeson that Wednesday night’s encounter in the Mother City was his last with the team.

His immediate plans, he said, was to spend the next couple of days with his family.

Reflecting on his time in South Africa, he said: “It was a beautiful thing. The most beautiful country with the most beautiful. It’s been an unbelievable three years. The memories we had here, it’s a beautiful thing.”

And, he also revealed that his players attempted to get him to change his mind, but it was already made.

“They tried to convince me. They tried everything. But this is the character that they know. I gave my heart, my soul to them and to this club. I’m just proud. It’s been a long time as coach to these beautiful players, but I think it’s time for something new,” he added.
