ROMAIN FOLZ MAKES TECHNICAL TEAM CHANGES AT AMAZULU – FULL STATEMENT
The club has announced the departure of technical staff members, Kamaal Sait and Johan Abselon who both served as assistant coach and goalkeeper coach under former coach Brandon Truter’s tutelage at Usuthu.
This follows Club President, Sandile Zungu’s announcement of French tactician, Romain Folz as the new AmaZulu Head Coach yesterday.
“We would like to thank coach, Kamaal Saait and Johan Abselon for their service to AmaZulu. All parties agreed to a mutual parting of ways in respect of the recent changes. I wish them all the best in their future endeavours.”
“With that said the changes mean that in the goalkeeping department we will be welcoming Musa Langa as goalkeeper coach in the interim, while the valuable services of Siyabonga Nomvethe will be retained under the reserve team,” said Zungu.
Musa Langa has been a longstanding servant to Usuthu, having stood between the sticks as goalkeeper and as reserve team and youth goalkeeper coach.
The President is confident Bhele’s addition as Assistant Coach alongside Head Coach Siboniso Vilakazi in the Reserve Team will rub well with the growth of upcoming goal-poachers in the youth ranks.
First team Head Coach, Romain Khalid Folz and his Assistant, Ayanda Dlamini will have to hit the ground running as early as today when they begin preparations for Friday’s DStv Premiership clash against Orlando Pirates away.
