Despite reaching great heights with Magesi and leading the newly-promoted Betway Premiership side to their first ever title, coach Clinton Larsen has resigned with immediate effect.
Following the Carling Cup loss to the All-Star team, it appeared it was the final straw for Larsen who dropped the bombshell on live television.

“Our players looked tired. It has been very difficult and we have played seven away games in a row,” he said on SuperSport TV.
“This is officially my last game with the team. I want to thank the players, the technical team, the supporters and most importantly the chairman for giving me the opportunity to lead the team for the last two years.
“Time will tell how the players will take it. Some are going to be sad and some others are going to be happy. But they are strong, and they will continue to make the club proud.”
“I am giving the team an opportunity to bring fresh energy and a new coach to take the club forward. We won promotion and that stands out for me – and winning a major trophy [Carling Knockout] in only four months in the PSL will remain with me for many years. I wish the club everything of the best going forward,” added Larsen.
As for what took place in the match, Dikwena tsa Meetsi were unable to match the All Star team as they lost 3-0 to them at the Orlando Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
