Coach Gavin Hunt has been left out in the cold as Durban City terminated his contract just five months into his tenure.
Hunt took over the reins from Simo Dladla after the clubs promotion to top-flight football at the beginning of the current campaign.
The former SuperSport United coach leaves Durban City with 19 points, seventh on the Betway Premiership table after registering five wins and four draws, losing five of their opening 15 league matches.
