Kaizer Chiefs have parted ways with former Black Stars defender John Paintsil with both parties agreeing to terminate his contract as the assistant coach of the Club with effect from 6 June 2017.
Both parties have signed a separation agreement, the terms of which are confidential.
The Club released a statement and thanked John Paintsil for his contribution and wished him well. His contract was due to expire in June 2018.
The 35-year-old was appointed as Steve Komphela's assistant in June last year but has been told to look elsewhere after just a season.
The club's unconvincing display in the recently concluded South African Premier Soccer League, has cost him his job - in what appears an imminent reshuffle at the club.
Painstil , capped 89 by Ghana, has never been in short of controversy since he joined South African side Santos four years ago.
