CONFIRMED | Former Orlando Pirates coach Fadlu Davids lands Lokomotiv Moscow role

Former Orlando Pirates co-coach Fadlu Davids has confirmed that he will reunite with another ex-Bucs head coach Josef Zinnbauer at Russian giants Lokomotiv Moscow.

Davids served as Zinnbauer's assistant before the German departed at the start of the 2021/22 Premier Soccer League (PSL) season and was replaced by co-head coaches Davids and Mandla Ncikazi, his then-assistants.

Zinnbauer then landed a job coaching the three-time Russian Premier League champions, where Davids will now join. 

"It's a major honour being a part of such a huge institution of Russian football," said Davids on his Twitter feed.

"Lokomotiv Moscow is well known amongst South African fans as it was the club of the late Jacob Lekgetho many years ago. I am here to be part of the future success of the club and it all starts today."
