Psl Return For Muhsin Ertugral, Joins Cape Town City After Tinkler's Departure

Muhsin Ertugral has been appointed Cape Town Citys technical director and interim head coach, tasked with turning their season around.

City parted ways with Eric Tinkler on New Years Eve and have moved swiftly to steady the ship before the season resumes over the weekend.

Ertugrals first match in charge is a crucial game against Kaizer Chiefs on Sunday at Cape Town Stadium.

Muhsin Ertugral has made a dramatic return to the Premier Soccer League PSL after a five-year absence, taking on the dual role of Cape Town City FCs technical director and interim head coach.

The move comes in the wake of Eric Tinklers departure on New Years Eve, as the Citizens look to reverse their fortunes in the new year.

Club owner John Comitis, whose position on the PSL executive committee ended last year, faces mounting pressure to stabilize the club amid its current struggles.

The decision to part ways with Tinkler follows a disappointing run of results that sees City flirting with the relegation zone, a stark contrast to their consistent top-four finishes in previous seasons.

Tinkler, who spent three seasons in charge, delivered second, fourth, and fifth-place finishes, cementing City as a competitive force in the league.
