The 33-year-old had a brief spell in the DStv Premiership with Marumo Gallants and AmaZulu.

His time at both clubs was short-lived though and he was left without a team as Usuthu restructured for their current campaign.

Soon thereafter he popped up in Guinea with Horoya AC, but lasted only two games before being shown the exit door.

Folz said on iDiski Times: “I love South Africa, the country, the people, it’s a football country with amazing fans.

“I have a special relationship with the AmaZulu fans, which I still receive positive messages to this day from. Fantastic people and I truly love them.

“Even Chiefs and Pirates fans, for example, I always had great interactions with them. They are amazing.

“To sum up, again, I have absolutely nothing bad to say about South Africa, only good things and when the time is right, I will be back.”

Folz added: “As always, I am dedicated and focused on my current mission.

“I will finish my tasks with FIFA and then I’ll evaluate the next steps of my future. I have refused many offers since October, including multiple from South Africa.

“It was not the right time, one thing I can tell you, I will come back to South Africa in the future and win the PSL.”
