AmaZulu Football Club have parted ways with head coach Brandon Truter after a string of poor results.
Following Truter’s departure, a club statement read:
“AmaZulu Football Club would like to announce that it has parted ways with head coach Brandon Truter. The 52-year-old was in charge of the team for just over five months.
“He impressed since taking over the reins following the departure of Benni McCarthy in March. However, the current season has proved to be difficult and the team has recorded just three DStv Premiership wins. Truter’s record is as follows: 19 games, seven wins, seven draws and five losses. We thank him for his cooperation and hard work for the club and wish him luck in his future career.”
AmaZulu have not won in five league and cup matches (three defeats and two draws). After starting the season with a draw and three straight wins, they have won just one game in their last seven.
Truter leaves the club with Usuthu halfway through a two-legged MTN8 semifinal. One of their five past matches they could not win was a 1-1 draw in the first leg against Kaizer Chiefs at FNB Stadium on Sunday.
The second leg will be played under changed coaching staff At Moses Mabhida Stadium on October 23.
