AmaZulu FC have announced the immediate resignation of co-head coach Vusumuzi Vilakazi, with Arthur Zwane assuming the role of sole coach.
Vilakazi and Zwane were appointed as co-head coaches in October 2024 after Usuthu parted ways with Spanish mentor Pablo Franco Martin following a poor streak of results.
AmaZulu issued a statement on Tuesday afternoon, indicating that Vilakazi has departed the team due to personal issues that require his immediate attention.
“AmaZulu Football Club has announced the resignation of Co-Head Coach Vusi Vilakazi, who wished to step down with immediate effect,” reads the club’s statement.
“In his letter of resignation, Vilakazi referred to the personal matters (which) require his urgent attention, making it impossible for him to fully commit to his responsibilities at the club.
“Club President Sandile Zungu has accepted Vilakazi’s request to be relieved of his duties with immediate effect. This transition leaves Arthur “Phakimpi” Zwane as the sole Head Coach, going forward.”
The Durban-based team is currently in fifth place in the league standings, having accumulated 26 points from 19 matches.
