AmaZulu FC president Sandile Zungu has revealed the club’s position on the future of head coach Arthur Zwane with the team for the upcoming 2025/26 season.

Zwane joined the club in October 2024 as a co-coach alongside Vusumuzi Vilakazi, replacing Pablo Franco Martin. However, Vilakazi left the club in February of this year, citing personal issues and leaving Zwane as the sole head coach for the KZN club.

Zungu, who is believed to have been impressed by Zwane’s output so far, confirmed that the club would retain the former Kaizer Chiefs trainer for the upcoming campaign.

Zungu made the announcement during AmaZulu’s new technical sponsorship announcement, which took place at Moses Mabhida Stadium on Monday.

“I can confirm that Arthur Zwane is going to be with AmaZulu beyond this season,” said Zungu. “That decision has been taken. We believe he’s done an awesome job in giving character to the team.

“We think he needs to be rewarded with greater loyalty by us as a team as well. And that decision has been communicated not only to him but to the players and the rest of the technical team.

“Arthur Zwane is part of AmaZulu Football Club beyond the end of this season. That’s a fact, and we are very pleased with his good work.”

AmaZulu are sixth on the Betway Premiership log standings, having accumulated 34 points from 27 matches.

AmaZulu have one match remaining before they wrap up their 2024/25 campaign. In their final match, they will face Orlando Pirates on 24 May at the Moses Mabhida Stadium.
