"We have been interviewing a number of parties who had expressed an interest in becoming head coach of AmaZulu Football Club. These prospects were local - tied to teams in the DSTV Premiership, others were erstwhile coaches of the DSTV Premiership, and some were internationals based in Africa who compete in the CAF Champions League and CAF Confederations Cup.
"Others were coaches who had stints in the continent who were now coaching in Europe, Asia, some in the Middle East and one or two in South America," Zungu said in the statement.
"We are absolutely delighted at the quality of parties that we interviewed, who shared with us their ideas about Usuthu. Usuthu is loved and seen as a very attractive prospect. We emerged with one name.
"A name that the players will be very happy with, the supporters, sponsors, and the directors of AmaZulu Football Club. We believe that the local league will be richer with a person of this gentleman's calibre coming to the DSTV Premiership."
