This was confirmed to
KickOff.com by the former Bloemfontein Celtic and Golden Arrows coach earlier today.
In what was a last-minute attempt to escape relegation, Pondo Chiefs roped in the experienced coach in March, replacing caretaker coach Julius Dube.
Though Larsen s arrival did help improve the team, it was a case of too little too late.
Chiefs have since been relegated after finishing at the bottom of the GladAfrica Championship table, and Sunday was Larsen s last day at the club. At this stage I can t say much regarding that, we ll just have to wait, my agent is busy with that so I ll just wait and see ja, Larsen says.

Masibusane Zongo has left relegated GladAfrica Championship side Bizana Pondo Chiefs.
The 30-year-old former Platinum Stars and Tshakuma Tsha Madzivhandila man had signed a short-term contract until the end of the season.
That was after impressing former coach Julius Dube at training, but the arrival of Clinton Larsen saw his stay with struggling Bizana end.
In March, Golden Arrows head coach Mandla Ncikazi revealed he wanted to sign the talented winger for the DStv Premiership club but Zongo failed to arrive.
According to an insider at Chiefs, it has been weeks since Zongo last trained with the squad.

Chiefs boss Nathi Mqokiyane has now confirmed to
KickOff.com that Dube will lead the club until the end of the season. He wasn t fired, it was a mutual decision, Mqokiyane explains regarding Motsoeneng s departure. You could see in his eyes in our meeting that he also felt the club needed someone with fresh ideas to take the club forward. I hold Tshepo in high regard. I still have big dreams in football that I want to work with him again. I feel indebted for what has done for this club and the people of Bizana, a rural area in the Eastern Cape. The people of Bizana still celebrate him.
