Former Kaizer Chiefs coach Gavin Hunt has been linked to a shock move to six-time Zambian champions Zanaco FC, according to reports.

Hunt has been jobless since parting ways with Amakhosi and has since been linked to the likes of Orlando Pirates, Stellenbosch FC and Marumo Gallants, respectively.

According to ZamFoot, Hunt will now join the Zambian outfit as their new head coach ahead of the new season.

The 57-year-old will take over the helm from Chris Kaunda after the club put him on administrative leave due to poor results, as well as Robin Munsaka, who was in charge for their last three games of the campaign where they sealed their Caf Champions League spot after they finished second in the league.

“Yes, it’s a done deal. He is arriving in the country today and he will meet with the board,” an insider was quoted on the ZamFoot website.

The source also confirmed that the former Kaizer Chiefs coach was expected to travel from South Africa to Lusaka, Zambia, on Monday afternoon to meet with the Zanco board.
