The latest coaching gig for the former Manchester United winger is his fifth job with Paunović. They have also worked together at Reading, Guadalajara and Tigres in Mexico.
Fortune represented the South African national team with distinction between 1996 and 2005 scoring two goals in 53 appearances.
The former Atlético Madrid and RCD Mallorca attacker is among a few South African mentors who have left Mzansi shores to pursue their coaching careers overseas. The likes of Bradley Carnell (Philadelphia Union, USA), Benni McCarthy (Kenya national team), Rulani Mokoena (MC Alger, Algeria) and Fadlu Davids (Raja Athletic Club, Morocco) have all done so.
