Benni McCarthy was sacked by John Comitis at Cape Town City in November 2019 and two years later he returned to the home ground of his first job for the first time with a 5-1 thrashing with his new club AmaZulu.
“Huge respect and a lot of love for my players for doing that against one of the best footballing teams in the country. We know City are a fabulous team, a good footballing team who score a lot of goals and make life difficult for many teams in the league.
“Today we made them look average, these boys of mine don’t know what they are achieving and slowly but surely accomplishing. They are on the brink of creating history. They are the first AmaZulu team to go 13 games unbeaten and they are getting stronger and stronger as each game goes on.
“I’m super proud of this team and can’t wait to see what we achieve with this team together. There’s still six games to go. I hope we can stayed focused, remain humble - just because we won today doesn’t mean we achieved anything. We still have six games to go to achieving what he want to.”
New AmaZulu President Sandile Zungu issued him a top-four mandate when he arrived with the team in 12th place back in December and 19 games later they are one point off league leaders Mamelodi Sundowns.
