Stellenbosch FC head coach Gavin Hunt has said he is happy with the current technical team at the club, stating that they are good people with knowledge.
When coaches get hired by the clubs, they often bring in their people (technical team), but things are different with Hunt as he highly praised the people he found at Stellenbosch FC.
The former Durban City boss was appointed by Stellenbosch as head coach after Steve Barker left for Simba SC. On arrical, he found Wesley Sergel and Evangelos Vellios, who were assistant coaches to Barker.
Hunt was introduced to local media on Friday and was asked if he would bring in more people. Hunt stated that it came up in the discussion before taking the job, and at this stage, there’s no need bring in new people because he knows people at the club and they are good people.
“It came up in a discussion, and maybe the other candidates, wanted to bring five, six people in. But obviously, having known a lot of the people here, the CEO, Wes, Van, goalkeeping coach, knowing these guys, those are key guys for me, because I know them, and they’re good people.” Hunt told the media.
“That’s important for me, good human beings first, what I’m saying, and a lot of knowledge as well, which is helpful to me and helpful to the club.
“That’s important for me, the rest of the people. I mean, obviously Liam and these guys, the media, obviously, that’s all part and parcel of it. And I’ll get to meet everybody, but the people that you work with on a daily basis is vitally important.
“So, yeah, I see no reason. I mean, not that I said this is going to be the end.“
