Arthur Zwane and Vusumuzi Vilakazi appointed joint-head coaches of AmaZulu

KwaZulu-Natal giants AmaZulu FC have officially announced Arthur '10111' Zwane and Vusumuzi Vilakazi as joint head coaches.

The appointments comes after a disappointing start to the season, with Usuthu losing their first three matches to Polokwane City, Kaizer Chiefs, and Marumo Gallants as the Zungu family-owned club parted ways with Spaniard Pablo Franco Martin and his assistant, Aitor Van Den Brule.

AmaZulu president Sandile Zungu expressed confidence in Zwane and Vilakazi, highlighting their combined experience as both former professional players and coaches.

Zungu believes their leadership will be crucial in guiding the team through the challenges ahead in the Betway Premiership, while also developing the club's younger talents.

"Their combined experience as both coaches and former professional players will be crucial in developing our younger talents and guiding our seasoned players in the task ahead," said Zungu.

Zwane returns to a head coaching role in the Premiership after his time at Kaizer Chiefs during the 2022/23 season.

Despite that tenure being less successful than hoped, Zwane continued working in the junior structures at Naturena, where he served both before and after his stint as Chiefs' head coach. He also worked as an assistant coach for the club from 2021.

His co-coach, Vilakazi, previously coached Lamontville Golden Arrows, Chippa United, and more recently, Richards Bay.
