Martizburg United have announced that Ernst Middendorp is back with the DStv Premiership club for a third stint.
The German coach last coached the club in 2017/18, when he inspired a miraculous relegation escape playing incredible football before leaving a solid structure and culture around the club, including the mentoring of then budding coach Fadlu Davids.

Middendorp returns to the club after stints in Thailand and Kaizer Chiefs, where he lost the league title last season in the final 20 minutes. The German coach was thus sacked by Chiefs before taking a new job with Ethiopian giants St George, but he suddenly resigned before starting the season when the Maritzburg job became available this week.
