Richards Bay FC sack coach after three games!

Posted on November 7, 2026

Richards Bay FC have reportedly dismissed Dimitar Pantev as their head coach with immediate effect.

Pantev was appointed as the man at the helm on 21 September as Richards Bay FC looked to get their season back on track.

This was on the back of Ronnie Gabriel’s resignation following the club’s slow start to the current campaign.

However, that moved proved costly as The Natal Rich Boyz struggled even more under the watchful eye of Pantev.

Pantev was in charge of three competitive matches as Richards Bay FC head coach, and he lost all of them.

Richards Bay FC first lost 4-1 to Mamelodi Sundowns in the league before being outsmarted 3-1 by Sekhukhune United in the Carling Knockout Cup.

Just last week, Richards Bay FC, under the tutelage of Pantev, lost 3-1 to PSL rookies Kruger United in the league.

They remain the only PSL side with no win in their opening nine league games so far this season.

As things stand, Richards Bay FC are placed 16th on the Betway Premiership standings with three points from nine games.
