Former professional soccer player Mark Byrne has been appointed new Santos head coach until the end of the 2004/05 soccer season.
He takes over from David Notoane, who was appointed the club’s caretaker coach when Boebie Solomons was dismissed three months ago.
Solomons has joined Maritzburg United.
Notoane has since been appointed assistant coach. Notoane held a similar position when Solomons was still with Santos.
The latest developments at Santos came a few hours before their crucial Castle Premiership match against Kaizer Chiefs at FNB Stadium on Wednesday night. — Sapa
