Notwane has parted ways with their Ghanaian coach, Ernest Kofi only a few days before he finishes his probation period with the club. The decision to dismiss the coach was taken during an executive committee meeting in Gaborone on Tuesday afternoon.

The move comes as no surprise as there have been doubts over Kofi's credentials since he replaced veteran Zimbabwean, Paul Moyo. Notwane spokesperson, Andrew Mokgatlhane said yesterday the decision to sack the coach was taken in the best interest of the club. Kofi has been sent packing though he guided the previously winless Notwane to three consecutive victories in the league against Jwaneng Comets, TAFIC and BMC. "The coach was on probation which ends on February 11 and when we met to decide his future, the management decided that we should not engage him on a permanent basis. The move might come as a surprise to many because he guided us to our first win last month when we were struggling. But sometimes winning alone does not guarantee one's future and it is quite unfortunate that we had to come to the decision of parting ways with him. We are in the last lap of the league where we need to ensure that everything is in place so that we do not relegate," said Mokgatlhane.

He added that when they met with the coach, he decided that it is best to leave than wait for the probation to come to an end. He stated that the coach was grateful to Notwane for giving him an opportunity to lead a big club. Mokgatlhane said the coach believes that the experience he gained at Toronto would go a long way in helping him in the future.
