Supersport United have ended speculation around the club’s sale and appointed Gavin Hunt as new coach.
Hunt, 57, returns to the club after leading them to three successive league titles between 2007 and 2009, while also adding Nedbank Cup title in 2011/12.
Overall, Hunt spent six years with Matsatsantsa during his first spell and has now returned to his former club following his extended absence from the sidelines after stints with Kaizer Chiefs and Chippa United.
On Thursday, Hunt was unveiled as new SuperSport coach during a press conference.
