The former Orlando Pirates striker is tipped as favourite to assume the coaching reins at Usuthu and the club owner had his say on the rumours
AmaZulu president Sandile Zungu could not deny or confirm that Benni McCarthy is headed to KwaZulu-Natal to replace Ayanda Dlamini as Usuthu head coach.
Dlamini stepped down on Monday, leaving AmaZulu placed 11th on the Premier Soccer League (PSL) standings following one win, three draws and two defeats.
McCarthy’s name has been prominently mentioned as a possible replacement for Dlamini ahead of other figures like Owen da Gama, Eric Tinkler, Gordon Igesund and Shaun Bartlett.
