COMMENT: Caf Champions League gives Gavin Hunt chance to prove critics wrong

Hunt is one of the most respected coaches in South Africa, but for those who follow African football, he’s still relatively unknown

Gavin Hunt is undoubtedly one of the most successful coaches in the history of South African football, but something is still missing on his coaching CV.

Having won four league titles – three with SuperSport United between 2008 and 2010 – and recently with Bidvest Wits, Hunt is in the eyes of many African football fans still far behind.

He has taken charge of over 750 official matches in the topflight, but the argument is that he cannot brag about anything, including the domestic titles he’s won until he proves himself in unfamiliar territory – the continental football.
