Kenya national team head coach Benni McCarthy has labelled Gavin Hunt an elephant of the game with invaluable experience.
Hunt was appointed Stellenbosch FC coach at the end of last year finding the side languishing in the relagation zone and has steered them to 10th place in the league so far.

The former league-winning coach has often come under criticism for what some believe are outdated methods, though he has also come out strong the previous weekend about the over reliance of technology in coaching.
Speaking to iDiski Times senior journalist Matshelane Mamabolo in edition 246, the former Cape Town City and AmaZulu coach said the presence of coaches like Hunt is also good for emerging coaches.
“Coach Gavin Hunt is an elephant of the game,” McCarthy told iDiski Times.
“They do not go extinct. He’s young at heart and players love playing for him.”
“You want to come up against coaches like that. It helps you mature very quickly because you know you’re competing against the best.”
