Stellenbosch FC's head coach Gavin Hunt has signed a new two-year deal with the club. Hunt took over as head coach in December after Steve Barker left to join Simba SC in Tanzania. At the time, Stellenbosch were battling near the bottom of the Betway Premiership table. But Hunt has helped guide the side clear of relegation danger, and by the end of the latest season, had secured a ninth-place finish for The Maroons. The 61-year-old has now committed his future to the Cape Winelands club after putting pen to paper on a fresh deal. Gavin Hunt said he's very excited about the project they're building at Stellenbosch FC. He praised the club's structure and professionalism, calling Stellies a fantastic club with fantastic facilities. The staff, whom he inherited on his arrival, have been very welcoming and supportive towards him, and they share a fresh and positive outlook for the future. Hunt has coached more than 1,000 top-flight matches in South African football. His experience and expertise will be crucial in helping Stellenbosch FC achieve their goals in the upcoming season. The new deal is a significant boost for the club, and fans will be eager to see how Hunt's team performs in the next two years. With Hunt at the helm, Stellenbosch FC will be looking to build on their ninth-place finish and push for a higher position in the Betway Premiership. The club's fans will be hoping that Hunt's experience and tactical acumen will help the team to achieve their objectives.
