Mamelodi Sundowns have confirmed Surprise Moriri has been appointed their new U19 head coach for the upcoming season.
Moriri had been in charge of their DStv Diski Challenge squad last season that finished in fifth place, but dropped sixth after a points deduction.
However, the club has now made alternations to the academy set-up, with Moriri now heading up the U19 side.
“The Youth and Academy structures of Mamelodi Sundowns which include 13-year-old recruits are important and are part of the development and investment commitments for the future of Mamelodi Sundowns,” the club statement read.
“Mamelodi Sundowns will make announcements in due course regarding Academy Coaches that have been recruited and employed.”
The 43-year-old is widely regarded as one of the club’s greatest-ever players and spent 12 seasons at the Brazilians between 2004 and 2016.
