The 57-year-old coach, who parted ways with Marumo Gallants before the start of this season, joined Thwihli Thwahla to co-coach alongside Abram Nteo and Khabo Zondo.

However, less than three months since Malesela arrived at the KwaZulu-Natal-based club, he has now resigned and returned to Gallants.

This has prompted questions as to why coaches leave Royal AM without being sacked as John Maduka did the same last season.

Many have suggested that it is because of the management’s interference in coaching, hence, coaches feel uncomfortable.

MaMkhize has revealed that Malesela told her that he wasn’t copying with co-coaching and he wanted to be a “stand alone” man which is the only reason he left for Gallants.

She further insisted that there were no hard feelings between her and the former Chippa United coach.

“I don’t think he was copying with the co-coaching because that’s what he told me after he had left from being sick from Swaziland and then he said no he thinks he is not copying with co-coaching, which I understand and I respected him for coming forward and telling me that,” MaMkhize said in an interview with Sports Night Amplified on Metro FM.

“Because for me I thought it was going to work, the ‘co-coaching’.”

Asked to detail what was not working with the co-coaching, MaMkhize said: “He said to me he wants to grow his career and him being a co-coach, he didn’t see himself growing because if he is co-coaching, whatever that’s gonna happen to the club maybe is gonna be coming from everybody and he wanted to grow as a coach going forward.”
