Mzansi Unsurprised as Chippa United Gives Gavin Hunt the Boot

• Chippa United has shown Gavin Hunt the revolving door after he was only at the helm for six months in Gqeberha
• This was after he was placed on suspension because of a poor run of form during which Chippa won only one DStv Premiership game from 10
• The news was not met with any shock or surprise whatsoever, with the club notorious for its chopping-and-changing of coaches

Chippa United and coach Gavin Hunt have agreed to part ways after a dreadful run of results by the Gqeberha-based side.

Hunt had already been placed on suspension after winning only one DStv Premiership match, and it was only a matter of time before it would be made permanent.

According to Soccer Laduma and IOL, the decision was made after a six-month settlement was reached by both parties. Hunt had initially signed a two year agreement with the club, two months after being sacked by Kaizer Chiefs.
