The outcome has been revealed following a meeting for Polokwane City boss Johnny Mogaladi and Jozef Vukusic – the Slovakian coach who was in charge of the team last season.
Following a successful season, where Vukusic led Rise and Shine to fifth place finish on the Absa Premiership log, the Slovakian resigned from his position as the club’s head coach at the end of the season.

Although Polokwane went on to hire Serbian coach Zlatko Krmpotic as Vukusic’s replacement, the Limpopo outfit wanted to have closure on how the Slovakian mentor had left the club.
After the initial arrangement that the parties would meet at the PSL Dispute Resolution Chamber on Monday, it was agreed that they settle the issue outside of the court, as confirmed by Vukusic’s representative Ratshibvumo Mulovhedzi from Rush Hour Sports Management.
