FORMER Kaizer Chiefs co-coach Ben Khalil Youssef is reportedly the front runner for the Durban City coaching job.
Ben Khalil Youssef has moved into pole position to become the new head coach of Durban City, with the former Kaizer Chiefs co-coach now the leading candidate for the vacant role as the KwaZulu-Natal side shape their long-term project.
The 2026 Nedbank Cup champions are searching for a permanent successor to Pitso Dladla, who impressed in an interim spell by steering the club to silverware and a strong finish in the Betway Premiership during their first season back in top-flight football.
Dladla’s short tenure proved pivotal in stabilising the team after a turbulent managerial start to the campaign, which included spells under Gavin Hunt and Sinethemba Badela before the club eventually settled into form under his leadership.
Now, with CAF Confederation Cup football on the horizon, Durban City are prioritising experience, structure and continental readiness in their next appointment.
