A familiar face returns! South African Premier League club finds a replacement for its coach

South African club Richards Bay are closing in on the reappointment of former head coach Pitso Dladla as the dismissal of current manager Dimitar Pantev becomes inevitable.

Details: According to respected outlet iDiski Times, the club's hierarchy have decided not to delay their crisis measures and have opted for a familiar face. Bulgarian coach Dimitar Pantev's spell in charge lasted only around a month, but a run of disappointing results and growing uncertainty have forced the club's bosses into yet another change in the dugout.

Pitso Dladla knows the team's structure inside out and is familiar with the potential of most of the players, which should ensure a smooth transition and an immediate effort to turn around the club's league fortunes. The parties are expected to finalise an agreement as soon as the termination of the Bulgarian coach's contract is officially completed.

It is worth noting that Pitso Dladla has previously been at the helm of Richards Bay, playing a pivotal historic role in the club's promotion to the top flight of South African football and its establishment in the Premier League.
