6. Brandon Truter Salary at Amazulu : R600,000 Rands

• Club: Amazulu F.C.
• Age: 43 years old
• Salary: R600,000
• Years of Active Coaching: 2017 – present

Since AmaZulu parted company with Benni McCarthy in March, the club has put Brandon Truter in charge of the squad as their interim coach to see them through the remainder of the campaign.
After managing the Durban-based side to a record of three wins, three draws, and only one loss over seven matches, Truter has been assigned the duty of coaching the squad on a permanent basis moving forward into the upcoming season.

Phumlani Dube, AmaZulu’s community relations officer, has announced to the media that the mentor, who was born in Cape Town, has been promoted to the position of head coach for the squad.

The confirmation came from Dube, who stated, “I can confirm that Brandon Truter has been formally hired as the head coach of AmaZulu FC.”

“It is important to keep in mind that Truter was first seen at Usuthu in the most recent few months after the team severed its links with Benni McCarthy, who had served as the head coach in the previous incarnation of the club. As a result of Truter’s strong performance since he took over, the club has come to the conclusion that he is the most qualified candidate for the position. It has been decided that he will be our point man for the upcoming season, which is slated to begin in the month of August.

I wouldn’t discuss the specifics of the deal or how long it is, but I can confirm that Truter will be AmaZulu’s head coach,” he continued. “The contract has been finalized, but I wouldn’t divulge the specifics of it or how long it is.”
