AmaZulu’s decision to make coach Romain Folz their technical director, instead of sacking him amid the side’s poor form, looks like a well-calculated ploy to avoid paying him out after they oddly gave him a new three-year deal recently.
Yesterday, AmaZulu released a statement confirming Folz had been redeployed to the role of the technical director, with assistant coach Ayanda Dlamini assuming the head coaching role until the end of the season. Apart from drubbing Kaizer Chiefs side 4-0 in January, AmaZulu have always been awful under Folz, hence the club’s decision to tie him down to June 2026 was always a strange decision.
The new arrangement is likely to frustrate Folz to resign and by doing so, AmaZulu would’ve dodged the bullet of paying him out for the remainder of his contract. Last week Sowetan pointed out that AmaZulu had painted themselves into a corner with Folz’s new lengthy deal just two months before the end of the season. Yesterday’s developments have just substantiated the assertion.
