Gaborone giants, Township Rollers are in the hunt for a sixth head coach in four years following the departure of Nikola Kavazovic. Rollers announced this week that they have agreed ‘amicably’ with the Serbian mentor to part ways after only eight months in charge.

It was Kavazovic’s second spell as Rollers coach when he was re-appointed in November last year. His first appointment was from July 2017 until October 2018 when he left to join South African side, Free State Stars. In his first stint, the Serbian coach led Rollers to a league and Mascom Top 8 double. He also made history with the club in the same period when they reached the group stages of the CAF Champions League. However, Kavazovic’s second spell with the club ended disappointingly for both him and the club.

He arrived with high hopes but left before he could even lead the team to its first competitive match because of the prolonged suspension of football activities in the country. There have been reports that uncertainties on the future of local football were partly the reason Kavazovic left. He has been constantly linked with a move to the Zambian league, which has absorbed former Rollers midfielder, Mothusi Cooper.
