South African tactician Eric Tinkler is set to take over as head coach of Durban City after Ghanaian giants Asante Kotoko agreed to release him from his contract.
iDiskiTimes can confirm that Tinkler is set to take charge of the head coach role at Durban-based outfit after the exit of Khalil Ben Youssef.
Asante Kotoko released a statement confirming the exit of Tinkler from the club just three months into the head coach role.
Tinkler was in charge of Kotoko’s Sunday afternoon 2-0 loss against Aduana Stars which was Kotoko’s first loss of the season after four games. The former Cape Town City mentor already won a trophy with the Ghanaian giants.
Meanwhile, City released Khalil Ben Youssef after seven games in which they won one, drew four, and lost two. The Tunisian also led City to the second round of the CAF Confederations Cup.
Tinkler is expected to take over this week in Durban, with two weeks to work with the players before the Betway Premiership returns.
