TS Galaxy coach Sead Ramovic emulates Muhsin Ertugal

Published on by

TS Galaxy head coach Sead Ramovic made a dramatic exit on Wednesday, resigning live on television during a post-match interview.

The Rockets, who drew 1-1 with Stellenbosch FC at Athlone Stadium in the Betway Premiership, saw their coach announce his departure. 

Ramovic, who had been at the helm of the Mpumalanga-based club for three years, cited personal reasons for his decision.

This unexpected move echoes a similar incident involving former Orlando Pirates coach Muhsin Ertugral, who resigned live on TV after a heavy defeat to SuperSport United in 2016.

SEAD RAMOVIC STEPS DOWN AS TS GALAXY COACH

โ€œWe had, our staff with me, beautiful impact, itโ€™s one of the most beautiful clubs in my heart,โ€ said Ramovic on SuperSport TV.

โ€œIโ€™d like to say that from now, Iโ€™ll resign, Iโ€™m not anymore the head coach of this club.

Asked further if it was his game in charge, he said, โ€œAbsolutely.โ€

Ramovic announced that he would be stepping down to spend more time with his family and to explore new opportunities.

โ€œTo spend a time with my family, (Iโ€™ve spent) a lot of energy in the last three years,โ€ he added.

โ€œBut we will see the plans God has for us. But it was just a beautiful thing, the most beautiful country with the most beautiful people.

โ€œIt has been an unbelievable three years, everything and memories we had here.

โ€œItโ€™s a beautiful thing.โ€

โ€˜THEY TRIED TO CONVINCE MEโ€™

The German coach revealed that Galaxy players had attempted to persuade him to reconsider his decision, but he remained steadfast in his choice.

โ€œThey tried to convince me, they tried everything but this isโ€ฆthey know they I gave my heart, my soul to them and to this club,โ€ he continued.

โ€œAgain, Iโ€™m just proud to have been the head coach of this club in the past three years.

โ€œBut I think itโ€™s time for something new to come.โ€
