This comes after newly-promoted Hippo Valley were disbanded by the team’s sponsor Tongaat Hulett on Monday as they said they would not be able to bail out two Premier Soccer League teams next season since they were already sponsoring Triangle.

The two teams were, however, merged, but Gishon Ntini was given the green light to choose the players he is willing to sign ahead of the upcoming season.

Chunga, Taku Shariwa and goalkeepers’ coach Warren Mapanga are officially jobless!

The outspoken Ntini has already indicated to the Press that he might be interested in only four players.

Most of the players at the Lowveld-based side signed one-year contracts due to end next January while only three players — Louis Matawu, Last Katambani and Tapiwa Dephistara — had deals running up to the end of 2014.

“All of our players are free to move on with their careers somewhere after the development. The good thing is that most of our players had signed one year-contracts to end in January (next month). We have only three players who have contracts that will end after the start of next season,” he added.

“All of our coaches signed one-year contracts that were renewable. But with this development, they are free to move. I can’t see them being lured by Triangle because they have got their executive.

“Ntini performed very well during the second half of the season and they were one of the best performing teams in the league and l believe he will be in charge,” he added.
