It was revealed by the Siya crew yesterday that Spurs identified Middendorp as the man to turn the club's fortunes around after a difficult start to the season.

The experienced German mentor's first game in charge will be against Royal AM at the DHL Cape Town Stadium next Saturday, with another home fixture set to follow for him three days later against neighbours Stellenbosch FC at the same venue.
In his previous role, Middendorp was with Tanzanian top flight outfit Singida Fountain Gate where he resigned after only two weeks.
