PSL club AmaZulu have announced that the club has redeployed coach Romain Folz to a technical advisor position with immediate effect. 

The decision comes after some poor results in which the club also finds themselves in position 12 on the DStv Premiership standings. Ayanda Dlamini has been appointed interim head coach until the end of the season. 

“AmaZulu President, Sandile Zungu has announced changes to the club’s head coach role with assistant coach Ayanda Dlamini appointed interim head coach. Romain Folz has been redeployed to the role of technical director, advising the president on the technical aspects of AmaZulu’s Vision 2032,” the club announced. 

AMAZULU BOSS EXPLAINS THE TECHNICAL TEAM CHANGES 

Zungu explained the changes begin with immediate effect until the end of the season.

“The game is result driven and with six matches to go occupying 12th position. It is clear the performance is not fitting for a club like AmaZulu Football Club,” he said.

“The decision we have taken is to appoint Ayanda Dlamini as caretaker Coach until the end of the season. His mandate is to fight for the remaining 18 points that are on offer.” 

“Dlamini has the huge task to prepare the team for the upcoming match against Cape Town City this weekend.” 

WHY ROMAIN FOLZ WAS REDEPLOYED 

“With Folz, there are also many aspects that we want to continue with from him. I have retained him as a technical director, primarily to advise the President on the technical aspects of vision 2032 until the end of the season.” 

“He will be expected not to interfere with the day to day running of the team. We also thank him for his contribution to the team,” added Zungu.
