Cape Town City have confirmed the appointment of Muhsin Ertugral as head coach after the exit of Eric Tinkler.
A statement on the club’s social media pages announced the arrival of Ertugral: “Cape Town City is delighted to announce the appointment of Muhsin Ertugral as Technical Director of the club.
“Muhsin brings a wealth of local and international football experience to the club's future project, having most recently served as the Technical Advisor of the Turkish national team for the past four years.
“Muhsin will step in as head coach until the end of the current season, joining first team coaches Diogo Peral and Lebogang Manyama.”
Ertugral played for Antalyaspor before leaving his homeland and continuing his career at clubs in Belgium and Germany where he also honed his coaching craft.
After coaching the DR Congo national team, Ertugral took over Kaizer Chiefs in 1999. Ertugral took Ajax Cape Town to ABSA Cup glory with a 2-0 victory against league champions Mamelodi Sundowns on 26 May 2007.
That proved to be a successful season for Ajax under Ertugral as they went on to finish fourth in the league and the only side never to suffer defeat against Sundowns in that season.
On 8 May 2009, he quit Chiefs and signed for Ajax Cape Town. As of 8 October 2009, upon Bulent Uygun's resignation, he agreed to pen a deal with the Turkish Super League underdogs Sivasspor, the contract runs between 30 June 2011.
