That wish was granted when Amakhosi hired the veteran mentor to guide them back to glory days after parting ways with Ernst Middendorp.

Billiat is believed to have not had a good working relationship with the German mentor but is now looking forward to a better relationship with Hunt.
‘I’ve always wanted to work with him. He’s a great coach who knows how to win,” said Billiat.
The nimble footed Zimbabwean attacker said Hunt has already held a talk with him to let him know what’s expected of him in the new set-up.
“We have seen with him, while coaching other clubs, that no player is ever guaranteed to play. He’s a coach who brings the best out of you. He makes players feel happy and that’s what we needed. You can feel it at training, there is a different energy.”
“He made clear what he expected from me,” Billiat said.
