AmaZulu FC has announced significant changes to its coaching staff, with the departure of head coach Pablo Franco Martin and assistant coach Aitor Van Den Brule. The Durban-based club has appointed Arthur Zwane and Vusumuzi Vilakazi as co-coaches, marking a new chapter for the team.
Zwane, a former Kaizer Chiefs player and coach, is known for his tactical expertise and ability to develop young talent, while Vilakazi brings extensive knowledge of South African football, complementing Zwane’s strengths. Their appointment follows Martin’s brief stint, which began in June 2023 after he replaced Ayanda Dlamini. Prior to Martin, Romain Folz served as head coach before being reassigned as technical director in April 2023.
