The 36-year-old has revealed he has been following the South African top-flight for a while now as he hopes to bring the glory days back to Usuthu.
"I'm really excited. I know for a long time about AmaZulu. I know how huge and important this club is and I'm going there with the intension of making history," Martin said, via the AmaZulu media department.
"Bringing the team back to the place it deserves. To make everyone there, especially the fans and people at the club, to be proud of the job are going to do.
"I'm watching PSL (Premier Soccer League) for a long time. I think it's around four or five years, I also coached some players who played in the league and I often talk to them and discuss the level.
"I know it's a very competitive league, any team can beat anyone. I already have the experience playing against Orlando Pirates last season in CAF (Confederation Cup) and at that time you could see the level difference between teams from Tanzania and Pirates.
"We were capable of competing with them and that's my intension. If I could do it with Simba, I'm sure with AmaZulu I can be capable of performing and to fight for tournaments and to bring the team back to the place it deserves."
