    WHAT HAPPENED?

    Coach Sead Ramovic announced his exit from Stellenbosch on Wednesday live on TV after TS Galaxy's 1-1 Premier Soccer League draw with Stellenbosch.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    In the last two seasons, Galaxy have been selling their star players to the likes of Kaizer Chiefs, Orlando Pirates, SuperSport United, and Stellenbosch among other teams.

    Given Msimango, Melusi Buthelezi, Bathusi Aubaas, Fiacre Ntwari, Pogiso Sanoka, and Lehlohonolo Mojela are some of their top players who were snapped by other Premier Soccer League teams.

    After finishing sixth on the PSL table last season and reaching the Carling Knockout final, Galaxy are struggling to make an impact in the 2024-25 edition.

    They were eliminated from the MTN8 and Carling Knockout in the early stages. Galaxy have also collected just two points from the six PSL matches played.

    It explains the frustrations that led to the exit of the former goalkeeper.

    WHAT RAMOVIC SAID

    "When I came everybody knew this team was at the bottom, it was a lot of mess but after I arrived with my whole staff, I think we had a beautiful three years," he opened up to the media.

    "It was a lot of beautiful memories, a lot of beautiful victories and a lot of beautiful games we played. We sold 12 players to the best teams in our league. If I'm not mistaken I think the club got about R40m from players in the last two seasons, just amazing.

    "At the end of the day, I want to win something and if every year we sell half of your team and you start from scratch again it is not easy because it takes a lot of energy," Ramovic concluded.

    WHAT NEXT?

    Ramovic is ready to continue coaching in the Premier Soccer League only if a club that matches his ambitions comes his way.
