Latest On Zinnbauer Amid Sundowns Link

JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA - AUGUST 01: Orlando Pirates coach Josef Zinnbauer during the Carling Black Label Cup match between Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs at Orlando Stadium on August 01, 2021 in Johannesburg, South Africa

A move back to the PSL seems unlikely for now for double cup winning coach Josef Zinnbauer despite being linked with Mamelodi Sundowns recently. 

Following the incredible season with Raja Athletic Club in Morocco where he led the team to winning two trophies and finished unbeaten in the league, Zinnbauer has been linked with several clubs around the world who are keen on his services.

Having coached Orlando Pirates between 2019 and 2021, the German tactician doesn't rule out his chances of potentially coming back to the PSL in future.

Over the weekend, Sundowns welcomed Steve Komphela who has re-joined Sundowns as a senior coach.

The defending champions confirmed that Komphela will be assisting Manqoba Mngqithi and the rest of the technical team as preparations for the new season are at an advanced stage for the Chloorkop outfit, following the departure of Rulani Mokwena who was previously the club's head coach.

While it has been thought that the Brazilians could be keen on further strengthening the technical team, with Zinnbauer's name among those bandied about, close sources have confirmed that the 54-year-old might not be the coach earmarked to join the club in this transfer window. 

"There is a lot that he (Zinnbauer) is busy with for now and he's got personal issues to deal with as well after the long season. Also, he still has to decide on his future with his club in Morocco," said the source.
