Maritzburg United have fired coach Eric Tinkler following a dismal start to the 2020/21 season.
He becomes the third Premier Soccer League (PSL) casualty this season after Baroka FC fired Dylan Kerr who then went to Black Leopards to replace Patrick Aussems who was the second coach to lose his job.
Tinkler leaves the KwaZulu-Natal club he joined in January 2019 and saved them from relegation before guiding them to a top-eight finish last season.

But elimination from the MTN8 by Kaizer Chiefs at the beginning of this season, as well as four straight league defeats saw Tinkler falling out of favour with his employers.
