Sekhukhune United Football Club Welcomes Eric Tinkler as their New Head Coach

Johannesburg – Eric Tinkler has been announced as the new head coach of Sekhukhune United Football Club.

The former Cape Town City FC manager makes his return to the PSL just months after being dismissed by the team from the Mother City in December 2024.

Tinkler, who once played as a midfielder for Bafana Bafana, is a well-recognized figure in South African football, having managed several teams in the top division.

The 54-year-old has also held coaching positions at Chippa United, Maritzburg United, Orlando Pirates, and SuperSport United.

Tinkler succeeds Lehlohonolo Seema, who departed the club while it was positioned fourth on the PSL standings after 20 matches.

Tinkler’s coaching staff will feature Marc van Heerden, Paulus Masehe, and goalkeeper coach Nascent Nkhwashu.
