Cape Town City Football Club

2nd assistent First team & Head of Sport Science and Performance

The second application for the PhD Scholarship with the University of Sydney was unsuccessful too. Nevertheless, it was time for a new challenge at a different continent. Hence, I decided to leave the Middle east behind for a job at the newly formed Premier Soccer League club in Cape Town, playing in the ABSA premiership in the Republic of South Africa. This experience made a huge impact on my football philosopy and how to create your own football identiy. The challenge was to build a club from scratch and to compete on the highest level of South Africa and my goal was to build a sport sicence/performance department and leave a legacy. I had the opportunity to be in charge of the first part(s) of training sessions and take the U23/reserve training sessions, and grow into a 2nd assistent role with the First team.

I am extremely proud to have been part of this club, the prize(s) we won and the challenge we have overcome.
