Local Fans React After AmaZulu FC Add a PSL Veteran to Their Coaching Wishlist

• Former Kaizer Chiefs coach Ernst Middendorp has emerged as a target for PSL side AmaZulu FC
• The current Cape Town Spurs coach could add Usuthu to a long list of seven clubs he has coached in the PSL since his first stint at Chiefs in 2005
• Local football fans reacted on social media to say AmaZulu would be making a mistake in hiring the German coach

The Veteran PSL coach could take charge of his eighth Mzansi side after he was reportedly added to AmaZulu FC's list for a new coach.

The Natal side has a coaching vacancy after firing Spanish coach Pablo Franco Martin and identified Middendorp, currently in charge of Cape Town Spurs in the NFD.

Following the sacking of Martin, AmaZulu began their search for a new coach as they looked to finish higher than their 11th place finish last season.
