AmaZulu coach Pablo Franco Martin is relishing the opportunity to make history at Usuthu as they prepare for the upcoming 2023-24 season.

The 43-year-old joins the club after he was appointed as their new head coach on a deal which will run for 36 months.

The Spaniard brings a wealth of experience having previously managed Santa Eugenia, CD Illescas, Purtollano, Getafe, Saburtalo, Qadsia SC and most recently Simba SC.

He also has a long experience list as an assistant which includes Coria CF, CF Fuenlabrada, BJ Enterprises and most notably Real Madrid.

Franco Martin, who holds a Uefa Pro License, is keen to get started and hit the ground running at the club and has his sights set on helping the club return to glory.

“I am really excited. I have known for a long time about AmaZulu, following them. I know how huge and important this club is,” Franco Martin told his club’s website.

“And I am going there with the intention of making history by bringing the team back to the place it deserves. To make everyone, especially the fans and people in the club proud.

“I have been watching the PSL for a long time, I think it is around four or five years now. There are also some players who have played in that league that I have coached before.

“I often talk to them and discuss the level there. I know it is a competitive league, and any team can beat anyone.”
