Gunners, Sithole spat resolved :: Mmegi Online

LOBATSE: The saga between Extension Gunners and former coach Mike Sithole has finally come to an end, paving the way for the Lobatse giants to return to the transfer market. Gunners, who had been under a FIFA-imposed registration ban, confirmed over the weekend that the sanction is now lifted following an amicable settlement with Sithole.

The club had been handed the ban on June 19, preventing them from registering players for three consecutive transfer windows and until January 2027 due to a punishment stemming from unpaid dues to their former head coach, Sithole, who had a brief stint with the team earlier this season.

The matter was tabled during the club’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) held at New Look Primary School on Saturday, where members were updated on the behind-the-scenes efforts that led to the lifting of the sanction. According to sources within the club, Sithole's case had caused considerable confusion, especially since the former coach reportedly never signed a formal contract with the team.
