PSL side Black Leopards  have announced Belgian tactician Luc Eymael as their new head coach.

The much-travelled mentor has returned to South Africa  having coached Free State Stars , Bloemfontein Celtic and Polokwane in the PSL .

Eymael has been jobless since he parted ways with Egyptian Premier League side Tala’ea El Gaish SC at the end of last season.

Leopards have since appointed the 59-year-old as their new coach.

“Luc Eymael appointed head coach for two seasons,” a club statement read on Thursday.

Eymael was linked with Leopards’ PSL rivals Chippa United, but he has since replaced Lionel Soccoia at the Limpopo-based side.

The French tactician was fired by Leopards because of a run of poor results last week.

Lidoda Duvha are currently placed 12th on the league standings having accumulated five points from six matches.

Eymael’s immediate task will be to mastermind a victory over his former side, Celtic on Sunday in his first league match in charge of the team.
