<p>AmaZulu started their 2024-25 Premier Soccer League campaign with straight losses against Polokwane City, Kaizer Chiefs, and Marumo Gallants, respectively.</p><p>The management then <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/gone-amazulu-fc-fire-spanish-coach-ahead-of-orlando-pirates-clash-after-three-successive-defeats-in-psl/blt0f6b1093176f53f2#csb4cffc535758a15a" target="_blank">opted to part ways with coach Pablo Franco Martin</a> and his assistant Aitor van den Brule on Monday night.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>In the wake of Martin's exit, Benni McCarthy and Stuart Baxter are the names that have been mentioned.</p><p>However, it is Magesi FC coach Clinton Larsen who has been heavily linked with the vacant seat at the Premier Soccer League side.</p><p>The former Orlando Pirates midfielder won the second-tier title with Magesi to get the PSL ticket. They have so far collected four points from as many matches played in South African top-flight football.</p><p>It has been rumoured that Larsen will be assisted by Vusumuzi Vilakazi who is coaching AmaZulu's reserve team. The club's president Sandile Zungu has, however, refuted the claims.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>"This is the first time I have heard that we are going to hire Larsen. All I know is that he has a contract with Magesi. Wait, we will announce the new coach soon," the administrator told <a href="https://www.isolezwe.co.za/ezemidlalo/ibhola/kuvela-elikalarsen-ekuqeqesheni-usuthu-8cb0ff41-a5ae-4f01-8716-ef1dfd95a904" target="_blank">Isolezwe</a>.</p>

WHAT ZUNGU SAID

<p>With the international break just starting, Usuthu have some time to put their house in order before the Premier Soccer League resumes.</p><p>It is vital for AmaZulu to get instant results to avoid relegation struggles later in the season.</p>
