A big move in a high-profile technical role could be loading for Romain Folz following his exit from Mamelodi Sundowns, the Siya crew has been informed.
Folz has been without a club since December after he was relieved of his duties at Sundowns where he was one of the assistants to Manqoba Mngqithi, when the latter's employment in Chlorkoop also came to an end.

Prior to surfacing at the Brazilians, Folz had been working at FIFA in their High-Performance department where he mingled with the who's who of world football in the likes of Arsene Wenger and others.
The FIFA gig followed a stint in Guinea for the French-Moroccan where he was in charge of one of the country's top sides in Horoya AC.
News reaching the Siya crew is that the 34-year-old UEFA Pro Licence holder's name has been bandied about for a potential move to CS Sfaxien in Tunisia.

Having recently appointed Tunisian coach Lassaad Dridi as a replacement for Alexander Santos after some disappointing results by the team, Sfaxien is understood to be considering making further reinforcements to the technical team with Folz emerging as a potential candidate to possibly become a technical director.
"Romain Folz is weighing his options as there are a few clubs in Africa that have shown interest in his services. CS Sfaxien of Tunisia have become the latest club to show interest in his services with a view of adding him to their new-look technical team," said the source.
