DStv Premiership outfit AmaZulu has confirmed Brandon Truter as permanent head coach for the upcoming season.

Truter replaced Benni McCarthy at the end of March in a temporary role and has done well in his short stint guiding the Durbanites up the table to finish in the seventh position eventually.

The former Swallows FC boss was given the mandate of getting the club into the top eight come to the end of the season and successfully did so.

AmaZulu club chairman Sandile Zungu confirmed the news to KickOff.

"Yes, I can confirm Brandon Truter will get his permanent appointment as a coach; he did well under the circumstances," Zungu said.

"And quite clearly, we were not going to make a top-eight finish at the rate which we were going.

"He's done well to secure a seventh position finish, I can't go into details, but he's going to be our permanent coach.

"He is going to take the team through the pre-season, and he can't wait to get started; and we wish him well.

"So yes, I do confirm that Brandon Truter will be our man for the coming season, and we are excited; he's proved himself."
