An alleged sex tape of German coach Peter Hyballa appears to have been behind his sudden departure from Sekhukhune United just before the kickoff to the 2024-25 season.
Hyballa, appointed just over a month ago, on July 1, was not on the bench as Sekhukhune lost 1-0 to Cape Town City in their MTN8 quarterfinal at Peter Mokaba Stadium on Saturday.
McDonald Makhubedu, who took charge of the match, will serve as interim coach, the Limpopo club said.
“Sekhukhune United FC wishes to announce the resignation of head coach Peter Hyballa with immediate effect,” the club said in a statement released late on Saturday night.
“The club coach has just submitted his letter of resignation citing pressing matters of a personal nature. The club has accepted his letter.”
