## **SuperSport United Parts Ways with Coach Gavin Hunt Amid Relegation Battle**  


SuperSport United has officially dismissed head coach **Gavin Hunt** with immediate effect following a series of disappointing results in the **Betway Premiership**. This decision comes as the club finds itself in the **relegation zone**, a situation unfamiliar to the Tshwane-based side.  


### **Why Was Gavin Hunt Fired?**  


An inside source confirmed to **Sunday World** that the club had been contemplating Hunt’s dismissal for some time.  


> *“Results have not been forthcoming, and the coach has been under pressure for a while now. SuperSport United is not used to being in this position. A meeting was held this morning (Thursday), and it was decided that Hunt would step down so the club could find a new coach to turn things around.”*  


Hunt, who had previously secured multiple **Premier Soccer League (PSL)** titles, briefly silenced his critics last month with an emphatic **4-1 victory over Kaizer Chiefs**. However, this success was not enough to change the club’s downward trajectory.  


### **SuperSport United’s Current Standing in the PSL**  


SuperSport United is currently **15th in the PSL standings**, with only **21 points from 21 games**. With just **nine matches left** in the season, the club is desperate to avoid relegation.  


### **Who Will Replace Gavin Hunt?**  


The club has appointed **assistant coach Andre Arendse** as the **interim head coach**. Arendse, a former Bafana Bafana goalkeeper, is now tasked with leading the team out of the relegation battle when the **PSL resumes after the FIFA international break**.  


Club spokesperson **Brian Moshoeshoe** declined to comment on the decision, stating that more details would be provided soon.  


### **What’s Next for SuperSport United?**  


Fans are now waiting to see if Arendse can steer **Matsatsantsa** to safety or if the club will seek an external appointment. With PSL **coaching dismissals** becoming more common, speculation is already mounting over who could take over permanently.
