His return to the Arrows bench began with Saturday’s 1–0 league defeat to AmaZulu. Attention now turns to a Carling Knockout meeting with Mamelodi Sundowns on Tuesday, 3 November.

He has described the opportunity to lead a team again as a new challenge after working within Pirates’ successful technical staff.
