Al-Ahly coach Pitso Musimane announced the appointment of Caffeine Johnson as general coach on the red team coaching staff.

Musimani wanted the presence of his former assistant in the Sundowns, Rolani Moquena, in the Al-Ahly coaching staff, but the latter confirmed in an official statement his apology for not assuming responsibility, to settle for the use of the former’s services. Black Leopards coach Cavin Johnson.

Caffeine is 62 years old and previously managed several South African clubs, notably Platinum Stars and Black Leopards.

Before accepting the South African as a coach on the Platinum Stars in July 2012, Johnson worked as a youth coach and assistant coach for various clubs in South Africa.

In his first term as Head of Platinum Stars, Johnson led the team in 30 league games (won 17 games, tied at 5 and lost in 8), and managed to clinch second place in the league table, one point behind by Kaizer Chiefs, the season champion.

During the same season, Johnson failed to lead Platinum to qualify for the Telecom Cup tournament after losing in the round of 16 to Amazulu.

Musimani’s new assistant left Platinum after the end of the season, to sit in the Super Sport coach’s seat for another season (13/14).

Cavin’s experience with SuperSport was not as distinctive as it was with Platinum Stars, as the team finished its season in the league in fifth place (44 points).

He reached the semifinals of the “Telecom” Cup before losing to Orlando 2-1, and left the “MTN” Cup in the quarterfinals for the same team.

With the start of the 14/15 season, Super Sport played 4 rounds of the league championship, losing 3 rounds and winning only one, for which the South African coach was withdrawn from team training.

In total, Caffeine led his team (Super Sport) through 39 matches in various tournaments (winning 15, drawing 8 and losing 16).

In March 2015, Johnson returned to the Platinum Stars Technical Management role and completed the 14/15 season with the team, along with two other seasons.

In its first 15/16 season, Platinum finished third in the league table (47 points), while it fell to ninth in the second season 16/17.

The 62-year-old coach went through another experience as a coach for the Amazulu team, before assuming the technical direction of Black Leopards, who decided to fire him after only one month of assuming his duties due to poor results.

Johnson suffered a heart attack in late January, after which he was forced into hospital to recover.
