Phala reveals why he left Black Leopards and dismisses retirement rumours

Former Kaizer Chiefs and SuperSport midfielder Thuso Phala says the uncertainty brought on by the coronavirus pandemic influenced his decision to leave Black Leopards and he will soon “start planning” about his next destination.

Phala asked Lidoda Duvha to terminate his contract last week after the club informed him that they would not be exercising the option to renew his one-year contract.

With the coronavirus plunging the current season into uncertainty, Phala said it was best for him to leave Black Leopards now and start searching for a new club.
