Richards Bay will be in the market for a third coach this season, with Brandon Truter being relieved of his duties by the club, the Siya crew understands.
As previously reported by the Siya crew, the patience of management was wearing thin and Truter was living on borrowed time.

The 2-1 defeat to Kaizer Chiefs in the Betway Premiership on Wednesday was the final straw. Initially, the Siya crew had established that the club would give Truter the weekend game against AmaZulu before taking a decision on his future, but it appears the club wants to start mapping the way forward in terms of bringing in someone who can turn things around for the club.
After the big investment made by Phakwe Gas, expectations rose. Vusumuzi Vilakazi was in charge at the start of pre-season after he saved them from relegation via the play-offs, but he and the club parted ways in August, before the Premiership campaign got underway in August.
With Truter at the helm, Richards Bay struggled to find any sort of rhythm and, according to information gathered by the Siya crew, management was not entirely happy with the style of play from the team.
In the eight matches Truter was in charge of in the league, the club registered just one victory and were on the losing end on five occasions.
