What happened?
Musa Nyatama, a former Orlando Pirates midfielder, has arrived in Durban to join Durban City FC as assistant coach. The move is expected to complete the club's technical team ahead of the new season.
Why it matters for Durban City FC
Nyatama's arrival is seen as a significant boost for the club, which exceeded expectations in its maiden Betway Premiership campaign last season. The Citizens finished sixth with 41 points before lifting the Nedbank Cup and securing qualification for the CAF Confederation Cup.
What comes next?
Khalil, who recently took over as head coach, has already begun shaping his backroom staff. Hendricks will retain his role as part of the coaching setup. Nyatama's imminent arrival is expected to complete the trio tasked with building on last season's success.
Durban City FC has undergone several coaching changes in the past year, with Gavin Hunt, Sinethemba Badela, and Ernst Middendorp departing at different stages. The club is now moving quickly to assemble a technical team capable of competing on multiple fronts.
Key player details
Nyatama established himself as one of the PSL's most accomplished midfielders during his playing days, representing clubs including Bloemfontein Celtic, Orlando Pirates, Mamelodi Sundowns, Highlands Park, and Moroka Swallows. He also earned senior Bafana Bafana honours.
