“It’s never easy to say goodbye, but sometimes the game leads us down unexpected paths,” said Ertugral.

On Monday, City announced that they had agreed to “mutually part ways” with Ertugral following a string of poor results that saw the team going for 10 games without a win.

“The decision comes as a collective in the best interest of the club as we look to end the 24/25 season as strongly as possible,” read a statement from City.

Following his exit, Ertugral took to social media to write a thank you message to City.

“It’s never easy to say goodbye, but sometimes the game leads us down unexpected paths.

“I’ll always be grateful for the memories, the lessons, and the incredible players I’ve had the privilege to know.

“Though some situations may seem unfortunate, I believe there’s always an opportunity to turn them into something greater.

“I wish nothing but success and good fortune for the team.

“Boys, keep pushing, stay strong, and may luck always be on your side. Thank you for everything – wishing you all the best for the journey ahead @capetowncity,” wrote Erugral on his official Instagram account.
