Golden Arrows co-coach Vusumuzi Vilakazi has confirmed that he tendered his resignation at the club, so what's his next move?
Vilakazi's resignation has shocked the football fraternity, as Arrows were flying high early in the season as they climbed up to second spot in the DStv Premiership standings after a stunning 3-0 win over SuperSport United.

The timing of Vilakazi's resignation raises eyebrows, so early in the season as it could mean he has secured his future elsewhere.
The 40-year-old tactician leaving Arrows also comes perfectly at the start of the FIFA break, where usually teams that are struggling in the league and make coaching changes.
Cape Town Spurs have had a poor start to their return to the top flight after losing all their five games so far and are the only team without points at the bottom of the table.
It could be an option if Vilakazi is added to the coaching staff at Spurs to assist Shaun Bartlett, who has previously coached Arrows.
Richards Bay are another team that is struggling in the early stages of the season after picking up only two points from five matches and a move across to the KwaZulu-Natal rivals cannot be ruled out.

Spurs will have another tough fixture straight from the international break, as they host Orlando Pirates on 16 September before facing Arrows three days later.
Abafana Bes'thende, meanwhile, also have enough time to find a replacement for Vilakazi, as they won't be in action until hosting Stellenbosch on 16 September.
Golden Arrows have since confirmed the departure of Vilakazi, by officially announcing the club's acceptance of his resignation.
