Former SuperSport United mentor Gavin Hunt has returned to top flight football as he will now coach Stellenbosch FC.

Hunt was sacked by Durban City a few weeks, but he’s now back to lead Stellies who have just lost Steve Barker.

Barker recently dumped struggling Stellies for a move to Tanzanian giants Simba SC.

Stellies announced Hunt as their newest head coach on their official website on Tuesday morning.

GAVIN HUNT JOINS STELLENBOSCH FC

“Stellenbosch Football Club is pleased to announce the appointment of Gavin Hunt as the Club’s new men’s First Team Head Coach,” reads part of the statement.

FIRST WORDS AS STELLIES COACH

“I am honoured to be joining Stellenbosch FC at this exciting time,” said Hunt.

“This is a forward-thinking Club with a clear vision, and from my first conversations with the CEO and staff, I could sense the ambition and the support structures that are in place. This is crucial for any coach who wants to succeed.

“Stellenbosch have built something special in recent years, and I am motivated to build on that foundation. There’s plenty of work ahead of us, but I am energised by the challenge.

“The Winelands deserve success, and I’m committed to giving everything I have to bring silverware and memorable moments to our supporters,” he concluded.
