Richards Bay FC are reportedly preparing to bring back former head coach Pitso Dladla as uncertainty continues to surround the future of current manager Dimitar Pantev.

The KwaZulu-Natal-based club are believed to be considering a coaching change following concerns about the team’s direction and performances under Pantev.

Dladla, who previously worked with the Natal Rich Boyz, has emerged as a leading candidate to return to the technical bench as the club looks to restore stability and improve its position in the Betway Premiership.

The former Richards Bay coach is familiar with the club’s environment, players and expectations, having previously played an important role in its technical setup.

His possible return could provide the team with some continuity, particularly as Richards Bay seek to address their recent challenges and improve their performances in the ongoing campaign.

Meanwhile, Pantev’s position at the club has reportedly become uncertain, with growing speculation about whether he will remain in charge for the remainder of the season.

The Bulgarian tactician was appointed to guide Richards Bay, but the club’s reported interest in reappointing Dladla suggests that changes could be considered if the current situation does not improve.

Dladla’s potential return would also represent another opportunity for the coach to demonstrate his ability to lead the club and help the players compete more consistently against other teams in the South African top flight.

However, Richards Bay FC have yet to officially confirm the reported coaching development or announce any decision regarding Pantev’s future.

For now, supporters will be watching closely to see whether the club will make a managerial change and bring back a familiar face in Pitso Dladla.
