Aces show Dolezar the door

Johannesburg - Mpumalanga Black Aces have given head coach Paul Dolezar the boot following a poor run of form in the Premier Soccer League.

Under Dolezar's leadership, AmaZayoni won just one of their last nine matches and currently prop up the Premiership table with just eight points from 21 matches.

Ten points adrift of safety, Aces will now be led by former Stoke City goalkeeper Mark Harrison as they look to achieve the unthinkable and retain their top flight status.

Harrison becomes Aces' fourth coach this season, with Neil Tovey and Akis Agiomamitis both going the same way as Dolezar earlier in the campaign.

Dolezar will not be leaving the club completely, however, as co-chairmen Mario and George Morfou have decided to offer the former Kaizer Chiefs coach the technical director position.

Aces face a tough final nine matches of the season, with fixtures against the likes of Mamelodi Sundowns, Kaizer Chiefs, Ajax Cape Town and fellow relegation strugglers Moroka Swallows on the horizon.
