JOHANNESBURG – Orlando Pirates has decided to accept Bradley Carnell's resignation.

Carnell steps down from his post as an assistant coach after a meeting with the chairman Dr Irvin Khoza.

"We had a request just before the break from Bradley Carnell that he had an offer from a team overseas to extend his career," Khoza revealed at the Rand Stadium on Monday.

"He had asked for permission to go for an interview and such offer has now come in and he has accepted. He has also asked to be released which the club duly agrees to. "We would like to wish Bradley all the best in his future endeavours."

Carnell's departure comes at a time as Pirates unveiled their new coach Kjell Jonevret. Jonevret was the manager of Djurgårdens IF between 2004 and 2006.

During his time in Djurgården, he led his team to the double, winning both the Allsvenskan(Swedish league title) and the Swedish cup in 2005. The Swede will be assisted by Harold "Jazzy Queen" Legodi who replaces Carnell.
