As most PSL clubs return for pre-season, Marumo Gallants have confirmed they are in the process of appointing a new coach.
Gallants had been claiming Abdeslam Ouaddou had a binding two-year contract with them as they looked to take the matter to court, after the coach announced his departure just after the end of the season.

After the 46-year-old announced his resignation, the club threatened to take the matter to court, alleging he had a running contract with them.
However, the contractual dispute was resolved prior to Ouaddou being surprisingly announced as the new head coach of Orlando Pirates, as confirmed to KickOff.com by Gallants spokesperson Sello Nduna on Monday.
With the head coach seat vacant at the Bloemfontein-based side, Nduna further revealed they are speaking to a number of coaches to succeed the Moroccan-Frenchman.
"We're talking to a number of coaches, but we have not finalised yet. But I can confirm we're talking to a number of coaches with the view to try and check who can we appoint," confirmed Nduna.
Former Upington City head coach Brandon Truter has also revealed he is speaking to a few clubs both in the topflight and the Motsepe Foundation Championship, with the possibility of taking over.
In the Betway Premiership, it is only Gallants who are in search of a new head coach.
"We're talking, but nothing confirmed yet. I don't want to say anything about who I'm talking to or anything," Truter said in responding to this website when asked what's next after.

"That's about all I can say. But we have to make a move soon as the new season is almost upon us.
"We're talking to both (clubs in PSL and NFD). It's about the project, not the money, not about who has offered more. It's about the project."
