This had been the Serbia-born coach's third spell in charge of the Chilli Boys, following previous stints in 2014 and 2018 with the Eastern Cape team
Former Chippa United head coach Vladislav Heric has spoken about his disappointment at being fired via an SMS message.
Heric has followed in a long line of coaches axed by the club - this season alone Dan Malesela, Siya Gwambi and Luc Eymael have come and gone.
Since 2018, Lehlohonolo Seema, Eric Tinkler, Rhulani Mokwena, Norman Mapeza and Clinton Larsen have all been in the Chippa hot seat and it was Larsen who saved the team from relegation on the final day of last season.
