Dladla Appointed Arrows Head Coach

Golden Arrows have confirmed the appointment of Pitso Dladla as their new head coach.

Dladla takes the reins at Abafana Bes’Thende just days after parting ways with local rivals Durban City. He succeeds Manqoba Mngqithi, who vacated the hot seat at the end of last season.

The tactician arrives at Lamontville on the back of a highly successful stint with City, whom he guided to a top-eight finish and a historic Nedbank Cup triumph last term. That dramatic victory over TS Galaxy in the final secured City’s first-ever major trophy in the Premier Soccer League (PSL).

Dladla inherits a Golden Arrows side that enjoyed a strong campaign of their own last season, finishing sixth in the Betway Premiership—two places above his former employers.

Meanwhile, Dladla has been replaced by Khalil Ben Youssef at City.
