Orlando Pirates have completed the signing of Milutin Sredojević‚ who returns to the club for a second stint having been in charge for a brief spell just over a decade ago.
Sredojević replaces Kjell Jonevret‚ who resigned on Wednesday just six months into the job.
Dr Khoza: "We also welcome back Milutin Sredejovic, coach Micho. A man who's integrity I respect"
Sredojevic quit as head coach of Uganda on Saturday‚ six months after leading the Cranes to their first Africa Cup of Nations finals tournament in 38 years.
Dr Khoza: "When he left, he left graciously. Now, he comes back with a great record and experiences throughout the continent"
Micho‚ as he is affectionately known‚ is remembered by giving a teenage Senzo Meyiwa his debut against AmaZulu in a league match won 2-1 by The Bucs at Ellis Park on November 8‚ 2006.
Khoza also said that Pirates will make a few signings before the start of the new season.
Dr Khoza: "We are hoping to finalize one or two signings before the start of the season in key positions"
