But the real milestone is that Hunt has now been in charge of 900 professional matches in his coaching career. 

His first coaching gig was at Hellenic in 1994, and this was soon after retiring from professional football due to a knee injury. 

Hunt then had a brief stint with Seven Stars before assuming the role of head coach at Black Leopards between 2001 and 2002.

The now 56-year-old mentor would spend five years at Moroka Swallows between 2002 and 2007, coaching over 200 official games for them. 

Hunt moved on to join SuperSport United in 2007, and he would leave the Tshwane giants for Bidvest Wits in 2013. 

He enjoyed huge success with Matsatsantsa, delivering three successive league titles despite coaching in just 200 matches.
