“Unfortunately, due to the restrictive financial environment of the NFD, the club was unable to extend the relationship.

“There is nothing sinister in the decision. The coach clearly indicated that he was willing to stay on and assist the team in getting promoted back to the PSL,” added Efstathiou.

The club is also poised to announce the way forward in due course as they prepare for life in the PSL first division.
