Durban City FC is poised to announce Gavin Hunt as their new head coach, marking a significant move for the newly promoted team. KickOff exclusively revealed that Hunt is the preferred choice, and official confirmation is expected soon. This comes after a challenging period for Hunt, whose last role was with SuperSport United, where he parted ways with the club due to a lack of positive results.
Chairman Farook Kadodia confirmed his interest in Hunt but stated that formal discussions hadn't yet taken place, citing Hunt's trip to London. "So far, there's nothing I can tell you about Gavin Hunt, as I can't speak to him at the moment since he has gone to London," said Kadodia.
Hunt brings a wealth of experience to Durban City FC, having won four league titles and three cup competitions throughout his illustrious coaching career. He was shortlisted alongside Owen Da Gama for the job. Clinton Larsen, another coach linked with the position, has since joined Venda Football Club.
The appointment of Hunt signals Durban City's ambition to establish themselves in the top flight. His proven track record and tactical acumen could be crucial for the team's success in the upcoming season. Fans will be eagerly awaiting the official announcement and Hunt's plans for the squad.
Will Hunt's experience be enough to guide Durban City to a successful season? Only time will tell, but his arrival certainly injects excitement and anticipation into the club.
