AmaZulu Already Looking Forward To Continental Football Next Season!

AmaZulu Already Looking Forward To Continental Football Next Season! Sandile Zungu, alongside Manzini Zungu, addressed the media of their future endeavours.

The first thing Chairman Sandile Zungu wanted to address was the future of head coach Benni McCarthy. The former striker was heavily linked to the Bafana Bafana post.

“These stories were met with great resistance and I have been very consistent that we will not release Benni to go to Bafana Bafana, why, because he is doing a fantastic job at AmaZulu,” Mr Zungu told the media.

“We love and trust Benni and our supporters have been very vocal in engaging with us tell us that if we dare release Benni…and we don’t want angry fans.

“At AmaZulu we honour contracts, and we expect people to honour contracts, it works both ways. We are clear that Benni is not going anywhere,

AmaZulu is currently second on the DSTV Premiership table. Should they maintain this position, with 4 matches to go, they will play in CAF competition next season.

“We want South Africans to be proud of AmaZulu when they go and compete against other giants on the continent,” he added, “but it will not be before we go and strengthen the team in certain departments.”

Club Director Manzini Zungu echoed these sentiments. He is adamant that they will equip Benni McCarthy with the best resources required to play in continental football.

“We are looking forward to preparing for an even better season and we want to equip our coach with every possible mean to take the team to even greater success. We want to have an intense pre-season preparation that will ensure we are prepared for continental competition and give the coach enough time to understand the new players.

“AmaZulu will go to the market and we will reveal our Arsenal, not the football club, but our new players for the new season,”

Benni McCarthy also took the time to wish new Bafana Bafana head coach Hugo Broos all the best in his new job.

“Godspeed to the new coach as they prepare for the World Cup qualifiers. There is a lot of hard work that needs to be done by both the administration and the technical team but I’m confident that they can do it,” McCarthy said.
