Former Orlando Pirates Milutin 'Micho' Sredojevic Found Not Guilty of Sexual Assault

• The long-awaited ending to former Orlando Pirates coach Milutin Sredojevic's legal troubles has come to an end
• The Serbian mentor was cleared of any wrongdoing after facing charges of sexual assault
• 'Micho', as he is known, abruptly vacated the Bucs coaching post in August 2019 for personal reasons

There has been a conclusion to Milutin 'Micho' Sredojevic's legal problems.

The Serbian coach, famous for his coaching days at Orlando Pirates, was found not guilty of sexual assault.

According to Daily Sun, Sredojevic appeared at the New Brighton Magistrate Court in Gqeberha, Eastern Cape, back in December 2020. SuperSport reported that he had been charged after an incident involving a waitress at a restaurant while under the employment of the Zambian Football Association and observing the national under-20 team during that year's COSAFA Cup.

In October last year, the 53-year-old was found guilty of two charges of sexual assault, receiving a three-year sentence that was suspended for five years. However, his defence team decided to appeal the sentence at the Grahamstown High Court, which led to the reversal of the decision by the courts.

Sredojevic said in a statement:

"For the past two years my reputation and image were questioned and the work I had done in the field of play over the past 20 years of being in Africa became meaningless as I was now defined by an embarrassing scandal that threatened my career.

"I was duly found not guilty, [and this] came as no shock to me because I had never second guessed my innocence."

Kaizer Chiefs punished by the Premier Soccer League after Stellenbosch FC MTN 8 pitch invasion by fans

Kaizer Chiefs will be breathing a sigh of relief after the punishment it received from the Premier Soccer League after the unruly behaviour of their supporters.

During the MTN 8 quarterfinal between the Amakhosi and Stellenbosch FC at the Danie Craven Stadium two weeks ago, Chiefs supporters invaded the pitch twice to celebrate a goal as well as after the team won a penalty shoot-out, Sports Brief reported.

Ironically, the PSL was also sanctioned for the chaos that ensued that day, having been in charge of security at the venue.
