AmaZulu Football Club have announced the appointment of Romain Folz as the club’s new head coach.
Folz replaces Brandon Truter, who left the club on Thursday.
He takes charge of his second club in the DStv Premiership having had a brief and unsuccessful stint with Marumo Gallants earlier in the 2022-23 season.
“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,” read the club’s statement.
“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.”
AmaZulu president Sandile Zungu has been attempting to pioneer a new breed of players at AmaZulu, players that are eager and hungry to go head-to-head with some of the best teams in the country.
Zungu also expressed the ambitions behind the club’s decision to lure Folz to Amazulu.
“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,” said Zungu.
AmaZulu’s next match is against Orlando Pirates at Orlando Stadium on Friday.
