The former Bafana Bafana striker has landed himself a brand new role.
Cape Town Spurs have announced former player Shaun Bartlett as their new head coach. This is after the Capetonians let go of Dylan Deane only a week ago.
Cape Town Spurs currently languish at 14th place in the GladAfrica Championship. They have only gathered one win from their opening nine matches.
Their slide down the NFD rankings began last season.
“Cape Town Spurs is delighted to confirm the appointment of Shaun Bartlett as our new head coach.” The club said in a statement.
“Bartlett, 48, arrived at Ikamva on Monday and will be on the touchline for our match away to AmaTuks in the 2021/22 GladAfrica Championship on Wednesday.
“Bartlett previously played for Spurs in the early 1990’s and returned for a successful loan-spell in 1997.
“This would set the foundation for a glittering career which also took him to the United States of America, Switzerland and England, where he notably established himself as a household name at Charlton Athletic.
“The former Bafana Bafana international, who was part of the South African side that won the 1996 Africa Cup of Nations, ventured into coaching after hanging up his playing boots in 2009.
“Bartlett enjoyed immediate success as a head coach by guiding Golden Arrows to National First Division (now GladAfrica Championship) glory in 2015, before taking over the reins at AmaTuks. His time at the University of Pretoria was followed by assistant coaching roles at Kaizer Chiefs, Bafana Bafana and most recently TS Galaxy.” They concluded.
Bartlett has already begun work at his new job.
