Johannesburg: Ottis Gibson and his entire South African coaching team and management staff have lost their jobs, Cricket South Africa (CSA) announced yesterday.

The decision, taken during a board meeting last week, follows a disastrous South African World Cup campaign. In a statement, CSA said a football-style team manager would be appointed, who would take charge of all aspects of the national team. The team manager will report directly to a Director of Cricket. Former SA player Corrie van Zyl will be acting Director of Cricket until a full-time appointment is made.
