Musa Nyatama was with Upington City earlier this year.

Independent Newspapers has established that former Orlando Pirates midfielder Musa Nyatama has arrived in Durban ahead of completing a move to Durban City as assistant coach.

Sources close to the negotiations have indicated that Nyatama landed in the city on Wednesday, with the final stages of his appointment expected to be concluded before he officially joins Ben Youssef Khalil’s technical team for the new Betway Premiership season.

Should the deal be finalised as expected, Nyatama will serve as one of Khalil’s assistants alongside Ashraf Hendricks, completing Durban City’s coaching staff as the club prepares for a campaign that will include domestic football and the CAF Confederation Cup.

The appointment would represent another important step in Nyatama’s coaching journey after enjoying a distinguished playing career in the Premier Soccer League. Since retiring, the former midfielder has steadily built his reputation from the dugout, taking on coaching responsibilities across different levels of South African football whilst earning praise for his tactical understanding and ability to work with young players.
