Former Zimbabwe international Ian Gorowa’s name has become the latest to be added to the long list for the vacant Platinum Stars head coach job.

Already several CVs from within the border and abroad have been piling up for the job at the Phokeng headquarters.

Ian Palmer and Neil Tovey headline the list of local coaches being considered in the race to find the man to take over from Cavin Johnson.

Gorowa is currently without a club after being elbowed out of the assistant coaching job at Ajax Cape Town in April when Muhsin Ertugral took over.

The 41-year-old has lengthy coaching experience in South Africa, having started out as a development coach at Ajax in 2002 before moving on to the senior team two years later. He has also coached at Moroka Swallows and Mamelodi Sundowns, where he also held several other posts within the club.

Word reaching KickOff.com is that if Stars don’t keep Allan Freese – who served as assistant to Johnson – the club intends appointing someone who has previously coached in the domestic league.

Freese has spent the better part of the opening two days of pre-season stuck up in marathon meetings with the club’s administrators, who reportedly keen to give him a chance of heading the club’s technical department.

Whispers within the Phokeng offices have also suggested that if Freese is handed the job, the club will also consider bringing in an experienced coach to stand as a technical advisor.
