Eric Tinkler is close to returning to South Africa after leaving his role at Ghanaian club Asante Kotoko. The South African coach resigned following four league matches, with the club accepting his request for personal reasons. Tinkler’s tenure at Asante Kotoko saw one win, two draws, and one loss. His departure came after the club’s 2–0 home defeat to Aduana FC.
Durban City is reportedly finalizing a move to appoint Tinkler as their new head coach. The club has been in talks with the former Bafana Bafana midfielder, who previously played for South African clubs. Tinkler’s exit from Ghana follows a short stint with the Ghana Premier League side, where he faced challenges in adapting to the league’s pace.
The potential return to South Africa marks a significant step for Tinkler, who has been linked with several clubs in the country. His experience as both a player and coach could bring a fresh perspective to Durban City’s strategy. The club is expected to confirm the appointment soon, signaling a new chapter in Tinkler’s coaching career.
