The
former Chippa United coach has been roped in as Assistant Coach of AmaZulu
alongside Head Coach Craig Rosslee’s technical team with immediate effect, the
club announced on Tuesday.
”We’re
pleased to announce that Wilfred Mugeyi has been appointed as the assistant
coach at AmaZulu on a two year contract.
He
will start immediately with his new duties under the Head Coach, Craig
Rosslee,” said AmaZulu General Manager, Peter O’Connor.
O’Connor
also added that the Zimbabwean-born mentor will be at this Wednesday night’s
home match against Bloemfontein Celtic but will only start afterwards to be
based in the technical area as per normal protocol.
Prior
to Mugeyi joining Chippa he had been second in charge at the Ikamva based Ajax
Cape Town spanning from 2007 to 2012, which at some point saw him working with
Rosslee.
The
43 year old ex-Zimbabwe international will be remembered for his goal scoring
prowess as a striker for clubs such as Umtata Bush Bucks, Ajax and Free State
Stars which also earned him the nickname ‘Silver Fox’.
