BFA summons Bright ahead of dismissal

Bright confirmed receiving the letter, but would not disclose further details, save to say he has responded to the BFA. “Yes, I received a letter asking me to show cause why action can not be taken. I have responded but I cannot tell you my response,” he said yesterday.

The coach’s three-year contract would be terminated by next week Friday, amid reports that he has sought legal advice on the matter. He signed the contract in July 2017. But his relationship with the BFA, sunk to new lows late last year when, ahead of an AFCON qualifier against Burkina Faso in Francistown, the coach bemoaned lack of support from the association.
