“It is true that I am no longer team manager for Wanderers. There is a lot that was happening at the club but I cannot wash dirty linen in public,” Madeira said.
Madeira said he was fighting for the welfare of players.
“I always prioritise the welfare of the players. I speak for the voiceless; so, I cannot continue when things are not good,” Madeira said.
His departure comes two weeks after Wanderers exited the Caf Confederation Cup following a 7-6 loss to Jwaneng Galaxy of Botswana on post-match penalties.
