In a surprising development, former AFC Leopards head coach Patrick Aussems has been banned from coaching in South Africa by the Premier Soccer League (PSL).
The Belgian coach, previously known for his successful tenure with the Kenyan club, now faces a legal battle following the PSL’s decision.
Allegations of Misconduct
The PSL has accused Aussems of misconduct related to his time as head coach of Black Leopards in 2020.
