South Africa mourns a great coach

A major figure in South African football sadly has passed away this morning. Ted Dumitru collapsed on the ground from heart attack at the Eastgate shopping centre in Johannesburg. Dumitru was treated by paramedics on the scene but unfortunately he was not reanimated.
Known as 'The Professor' the Romanian based Dumitru was in the coaching business for 40 years. Among his native country he was training clubs in Turkey, Zambia, Swaziland, Namibia, but mostly was known in South Africa. One of his major accomplishments are with the national team Bafana Bafana when he guided them to the 2006 Africa Cup of Nations and also took Mamelodi Sundowns to a CAF Champions league final. And at this South African club he was working his last job as a technical director. He was 76.
