Khalil Ben Youssef, who is running for the position of coach of Durban City, is the one who may soon be appointed as the coach of this team.
According to the source ofOf this country who is close to City, it turns out that Ben Youssef, who recently left Kaizer Chiefs, is ahead of those who may be given the position of coaching this Durban team which is in the process of appointing a coach to lead it next season as it will play in the Caf Confederation Cup.
According to Solezwe, talks between Ben Youssef and City management are heating up.
“Tinkler was the one who was leading and it seems that he is the one who has the best chance to be appointed as coach after the talks he has had with the team since last week. But it seems that the competition is getting more intense now that there are more competitors with whom he is running for this position.
The issue now is money. “Khalil accepts what is put on the table by the team management, which gives him the best chance to be appointed as a coach,” said the source.
Pitso Dladla, who won the Nedbank Cup title for City, also made it to MTN8 by finishing eighth in the Betway Premiership log and is expected to step down to the position of new deputy coach. What has brought him down is not having the Caf A License required by the governing body for football in Africa, the Confederation of African Football (Caf), for the coaches of the teams that will play in its competitions.
Ben Youssef has been in the Chiefs team for two seasons since he arrived as one of Nasreddine Nabi’s deputies in the 2024/2025 season. He ended up training together with Cedric Kaze last season, they placed the team in third place on the log. Khalil has the qualifications required by the Citizens as he was on the bench for Chiefs when they played in the Confederation Cup last season.
