Kaizer Chiefs have confirmed the appointment of new goalkeeper coach Olivier Sori ahead of the new season.
He joins the technical team of head coach Fernando da Cruz, who was recently appointed, replacing co-coaches Cedric Kaze and Khalil Ben Youssef.
Chiefs have also appointed Mahmoud Abbas as assistant coach and promoted Dillon Sheppard to second assistant coach.
Sori replaces Ilyes Mzoughi, who also left Amakhosi after his contract expired at the end of last season.
“Kaizer Chiefs have appointed Olivier Sorin as the Club’s new goalkeeper coach. He has signed a two-year contract with an option for a further year,” the club announced via a statement.
“The former professional goalkeeper, now a seasoned coach, holds a UEFA Goalkeeper A Licence.
“Over the past decade, Sorin has played a pivotal role in shaping the careers of several international goalkeepers, including Édouard Mendy, Steve Mandanda, Doğan Alemdar, among many others.
“Born in France, Sorin has now arrived in South Africa to join the Amakhosi technical team, which will be led by newly appointed head coach Fernando da Cruz.”
