Maritzburg United have appointed Ziphozonke Dlangalala as their new head coach after the departure of Fadlu Davids.
Dlangalala previously coached at Mamelodi Sundowns and Chippa United as an assistant coach and at AmaTuks as their head coach a few seasons ago.
He was recently in charge of the South Africa U-16 side that played in the UEFA U16 development tournament in Poland back in March.
Maritzburg brings Dlangalala on board
He replaces Davids, who failed to help the club avoid relegation.
“Maritzburg United Football Club are pleased to announce the appointment of Ziphozonke Dlangalala (Zipho) as their new head coach,” the club said in a statement.
“Zipho, as he is affectionately known, was the former assistant coach at Mamelodi Sundowns, assistant coach at Chippa United and head coach at Pretoria University.
