Stuart Baxter Is Taking A Break After Leaving Genclerbirligi

Stuart Baxter Is Taking A Break After Leaving Genclerbirligi

Stuart Baxter is expected to return to Sweden and take some time out of the game before embarking on his next challenge from his departure from Genclerbirligi.

The news broke earlier this week that the record-breaking former Kaizer Chiefs coach had parted ways with the Turkish outfit after just two games, sparking a renewal of interest in him from South Africa's football fans.

However, it appears that the English coach will not be rushing into any new job following his exit in Turkey, with his South African representative, Steve Kapeluschnik, saying that he could be back in Mzansi soon, but only on holiday.

When asked about a possible return to South Africa, Kapeluschnik said, "Stuart loves it in South Africa and has always enjoyed his time here, but he's in no rush to get himself back into the game right away. He'll be going back to Sweden for a while and might come with his family on holiday to South Africa, but that's it for now."

Kapeluschnik also added that Ilhan Cavcav, Genclerbirligi's 79-year-old president, attempted to reverse his decision to part ways with Baxter after the club's players begged him to reconsider, however Baxter's mind was already made up.

He said, "The club's President was angry after they lost their second game and had a fall-out with Stuart and told him to go. Stuart said ok and left, but after the players heard they wanted the President to change his mind.

"He then called Stuart to apologise but it was too late. He felt he couldn't go back to work after what had happened."

Baxter, who was travelled all over the world during his coaching career, will now be keeping his eyes open for his next move, and is said to be open to returning to South Africa should the right opportunity arise.
