Davids Takes Ropes As Maritzburg Interim Coach

The sudden departure of Roger de Sa means Fadlu Davids has now been handed his fourth spell as caretaker coach at the Team of Choice over the last 18 months and will be assisted by his younger brother Mahier in a rare family partnership of coaches in command.

Last season, Davids twice served in a similar capacity as caretaker coach, firstly stepping up in September 2015 when Mandla Ncikazi failed to get going quick enough to hold on to his first head coaching job in the PSL. Clive Barker was then appointed as Maritzburg coach but the veteran gaffer couldn’t get the team out of the mud and was gone within two months. Davids was given brief control of the team for the second time and oversaw the game against Platinum Stars.

A decision about the way forward in terms of a permanent replacement for De Sa will then be looked into at the end of the campaign, despite the fact the club has already received applications from agents representing various coaches.The team is however, safe from the relegation zone and will keep fighting for a top 8 spot.
