Durban – AmaZulu has reportedly been preparing former Kaizer Chiefs and Bafana Bafana international, Siphiwe Tshabalala for an off the field role at the club next season.
Following his much-publicized signing by AmaZulu, the veteran winger has failed to make an impact at Usuthu, only featuring twice in all competitions for the club. The appearances came in the DStv Premiership and the Nedbank Cup but he has been struggling to kick on from those two matches.
However, it is worth noting that he has not enjoyed the best of luck with injuries and health along the way. Tshabalala has joined the Durban-based side already carrying an injury, and upon recovering from that he would suffer from Covid-19.
It was initially reported by certain media publications that upon coach Bennie McCarthy informing AmaZulu of his transfer plans for next season, he also made it clear that Tshabalala as well as his former national team and Kaizer Chiefs team-mates Tshepo Masilela were not in his plans for next season. However, unlike Masilela, the club has found a way they feel could be suitable for Tshabalala and his statue in the game to their advantage.
According to an insider, club boss still sees value in Tshabalala in a different capacity for the club. “Shabba will be moved to the club’s marketing department while Tshepo Masilela will be released,” said the source in a short.
