AmaZulu have announced the appointment of Romain Folz as the club’s new head coach.
The former Marumo Gallants coach replaces Brandon Truter who was sacked by the club this week.
“AmaZulu Football Club is pleased to announce the appointment of the duo of Romain Khalid Folz and Ayanda Dlamini as head coach and first assistant coach respectively, with effect from today until the end of the current (2022/23) season next June,” read the club’s statement.
“Romain Folz, a French national with Moroccan roots, is a skilled tactician with an advanced soccer analytical mind. He was, until recently, head coach of Marumo Gallants.
“Ayanda Dlamini was head coach of AmaZulu FC prior to the arrival of Benni McCarthy in December 2020. Since then he has been working with AmaZulu FC Reserves – the DStv Diski Challenge team – as co-coach.”
AmaZulu president Sandile Zungu said: “I repeat my personal promise to our fans that I will do everything in my power to bring back the glory days at AmaZulu. We are championship material, there is no doubt about that,” said Zungu.
“We can, and will challenge for trophies both domestically and continentally. As the oldest club in the DStv Premiership, Usuthu is a heritage of South African football and therefore we must self-correct expeditiously whenever we hit snags.”
