Official: AmaZulu Announce New Coach
AmaZulu have announced the appointment of Romain Folz as their new head coach following Brandon Truter’s departure last week.
The club confirmed the news early on Sunday morning, announcing the appointment of the 32-year-old former Marumo Gallants and Township Rollers coach.
He will be assisted by Ayanda Dlamini.
Folz was only at Gallants for a few months, taking charge for six games, drawing five and losing one, before resigning.
“AmaZulu Football Club is pleased to announce the appointment of the duo of Romain Khalid Folz and Ayanda Dlamini as head coach and first assistant coach respectively, with effect from today until the end of the current (2022/23) season next June,” the statement read.
“Romain Folz, a French national with Moroccan roots, is a skilled tactician with an advanced soccer analytical mind. He was, until recently, head coach of Marumo Gallants. Ayanda Dlamini was head coach of AmaZulu FC prior to the arrival of Benni McCarthy in December 2020. Since then he has been working with AmaZulu FC Reserves – the DStv Diski Chalenge team – as co-coach.”
“I repeat my personal promise to our fans that I will do everything in my power to bring back the glory days at AmaZulu. We are championship material, there is no doubt about that. We can and will challenge for trophies both domestically and continentally. As the oldest club in the DStv Premiership, Usuthu is a heritage of South African football and therefore we must self-correct expeditiously whenever we hit snags,” Sandile Zungu said in the statement.
