Cape Town City have appointed former Kaizer Chiefs mentor Muhsin Ertugral as their new Technical Director and he will step in as head coach until the end of the season.
Ertugral replaces Eric Tinkler, who was sacked earlier this week following a string of poor results.
Tinkler's departure marks the end of a four-year tenure with the club, having joined in 2021 to replace Jan Olde Riekerink.
Ertugral, assisted by Diogo Peral and Lebogang Manyama, has been tasked with reviving the fortunes of the Betway Premiership side.
