Celtic lose coach Luc

Luc Eymael has been ordered back from Bloemfontein Celtic to his former club, Polokwane City.

The order, issued by the Premier Soccer League's dispute resolution committee, arrived at Celtic's offices yesterday afternoon, said CEO Khumbulani Konco.

Eymael had been the subject of a dispute since joining Celtic as head coach on March 10 - a day after he quit as head coach of City.

Polokwane had demanded R2.8-million in compensation for Eymael's services, with the matter having been referred to the dispute resolution committee.

The decision will be a blow for Celtic, who must now continue with Lehlohonolo Seema and John Maduka as caretaker coaches.

Eymael had been prevented by the committee from taking his place on the bench for Celtic in the six league and cup games since he joined them.

Konco could not say whether the club would be looking for a new coach before the end of this season.
