LeFA, Veselin Jelusic reach mutual agreement to part ways

The Lesotho Football Association and the senior national team coach Veselin Jelusic have come to a mutual agreement to part ways with immediate effect after sixteen months working together.

Jelusic was appointed Lesotho coach in February 2022, where he hit the ground running helping Likuena reach the group stage of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations after a 3-1 aggregate victory over Seychelles.

The Serbian leaves Likuena following Saturday 1-0 loss to Comoros, which follows a string of poor results including defeats to Eswatini and Togo in recent friendly matches.

“The National Executive Committee of the Lesotho Football Association and the senior national team coach, Mr. Veselin Jelusic have reached an agreement to part ways amicably with immediate effect after 16 months working together,” the LeFA statement said.

“The development comes following Likuena’s Saturday 1-0 loss to Comoros in the 2023 TotalEnergies Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, which left Lesotho rooted at the bottom of Group H with just one point, which came in a goalless draw against Ivory Coast.

“We thank Mr. Jelusic for his contribution to the Association and wish him well in the future. The Association will make further announcements in due course.”
