With AmaZulu aiming to build on their latest results, the name has come up of a person who might be playing an influential role in the team’s resurgence.
Following a slow start to the season where the KwaZulu-Natal outfit struggled with disappointing results, the team got their first win of the season after defeating Chippa United 2-0 last week.

The victory was achieved in the second match in charge for Vusumuzi Vilakazi and Arthur Zwane who were roped in as joint head coaches last month when they replaced Spaniard Pablo Franco Martin.
The win helped Usuthu to move up to 15th place on the Betway Premiership log, leaving TS Galaxy who are rooted at the bottom with only one point from their five matches.
According to sources close to the Durban based side, Pedro Dias who is the Director of Football at club is one of the people worth mentioning for his role in the turnaround.
“Now that the team has managed to get its first win, the aim is to keep consistency. That’s what the team will be working on during the FIFA break. While it has been through team effort that the results are improving, it is worth mentioning that there are people who work hard behind the scenes, and Pedro Dias who is the Director of Football is one of them. There is a lot of work that the guy is doing behind the scenes which is helping the first team to improve and soon the results will be showing,” said the source.

“He is doing really well, and you can expect the team to keep on going up on the log going forward with him in the role and supporting the coaches, players and the management. The future for the club is bright because he is also good with the development of young players,” the source said.
In their next match after the FIFA international break, AmaZulu will visit Richards Bay at the King Goodwill Zwelithini Stadium on November 30.
