It’s believed the club President Hersi Ally Said received a glowing endorsement from FIFA’s Chief of Global Football Development Arsène Wenger during their time together at the recent FIFA Club World Cup.
Sources within the club have confirmed they are expecting his arrival this week, to officially succeed Miloud Hamdi – who has made the move to Egyptian Premier League club Ismaily.
Folz recently concluded a stint in Algeria with Olympique Akbou, where he steered the relegation threatened side to safety in the final eight games of the season.
He also was on the books of Township Rollers, Marumo Gallants, AmaZulu and Horoya AC – and the move to Yanga now marks the next exciting chapter of his coaching career.
