Folz joined Usuthu in October last year, replacing Brandon Truter, whom the club fired.
The 32-year-old coach, the youngest in the PSL in the current season, signed a short-term deal with the club until the end of the season.
However, the club seem to have confidence in the coach despite his inconsistent run in the league so far. They announced that they have agreed on a new deal that will see him at the club until 2026.
"AmaZulu Football Club have signed a 3-year deal with Romain “Fohloza” Folz starting 01 July 2023 and ending 30 June 2026, which marks an extension to his current contract that expires at the end of the season," Usuthu said in a statement.
"Club President, Sandile Zungu has called upon the Usuthu faithful to throw their weight behind the French-cum-Moroccan tactician and his charges as they look to stabilize and build for the future success."
Said the club president as per the statement: “We felt it was important to build and put stability into the team with hundred percent support on the Head Coach.”
“Fohloza understands and buys into our vision for 2032. Not only do we believe he will take us there, even our objective of Top 4 finish and qualifying for one of the CAF competitions is very much viable under his guidance.”
