As an unattached coach, a couple of Orlando Pirates fans raided Gavin Hunt's Twitter handle and spoke of a move to Mayfair.
What the story?
Despite unsavoury spells at Kaizer Chiefs and Chippa United in recent years, Hunt remains one of the top coaches in South African football.
As seen in fan reactions on his Twitter handle, some supporters even hope for the mentor to one day turn up at Orlando Pirates. Hunt took to his Twitter account where he uploaded a series of photos of himself with a caption that read, "nothing like the beautiful game."'
Hunt In Black
Dressed in black in all of the images, some fans took it as a hint at joining Pirates while another supporter commented, "Black suits you coach" followed by crossbones emojis.
That being said, Hunt recently spoke about his excitement at visiting English Premier League champions Manchester City.
The ex-Bidvest Wits coach will head to Manchester on April 18 to spend a few days at the Etihad, where he will observe and pick up tricks of the trade.
Here are some of the reactions:
