Newly appointed AmaZulu coach Romain Folz has arrived at the club to take charge of the team ahead of the important match against Orlando Pirates.
Folz was announced as the new coach of Usuthu on Sunday morning, after the Durban-based club parted ways with their previous coach Brandon Truter last week.

Sources have confirmed that at the time of his announcement, Folz was travelling to Mzansi from France where he had been attending to some issues, though he has since landed to take charge of his first training session with the team in preparation of his first match in charge against the Buccaneers.
Ironically, the French-Moroccan tactician's last match in the dugout was against Bucs, when he was still with Marumo Gallants.

"We would like to thank coach, Kamaal Saait and Johan Abselon for their service to AmaZulu. All parties agreed to a mutual parting of ways in respect of the recent changes. I wish them all the best in their future endeavours," club president Sandile Zungu said in a statement issued by Usuthu.
"With that said the changes mean that in the goalkeeping department we will be welcoming Musa Langa as goalkeeper coach in the interim, while the valuable services of Siyabonga Nomvethe will be retained under the reserve team," said Zungu.
