Former Kaizer Chiefs and Cape Town Spurs coach Ernst Middendorp has been reappointed as Technical Director by Durban City.
Middendorp had already been in the role at the beginning of the season but left earlier in the campaign over alleged clashes with the coach Gavin Hunt.
But following Hunt’s dismissal, and the appointment of Sinethemba Badela, Middendorp has now returned to the club.
“The club is also pleased to welcome back Ernst Middendorp, who returns to Durban City FC in the role of Technical Director, providing strategic oversight across all football operations,” Durban City stated.
“This comprehensive restructuring, from the first team down to our Diski Challenge side, underscores our commitment to stability and long-term success. We have full confidence in this new technical team to bring a winning identity back to our club and make our supporters proud,” Club Chairman Farook Kadodia said.
In addition, Ashraf Hendricks was appointed as new DStv Diski Challenge coach after Daine Klate left last month.
“Ashraf Hendricks has been appointed as the new Head Coach of the DStv Diski Challenge side. Hendricks, whose playing career included stints at Bidvest Wits and Moroka Swallows and national team representation, will be tasked with nurturing the next generation of talent.
