Simba’s management has finalized an agreement with Mamelodi Sundowns U-19 head coach Kristopher Charles Bergman from South Africa, who will join the technical bench alongside head coach Steven Robert Barker.
Barker recommended Bergman to be added to the team’s technical staff for this season.
Bergman, who was born on January 31, 1989, in Cape Town, South Africa, previously enjoyed a playing career in the South African Premier League.
During his playing days, the coach featured as a right-back, center-back, and midfielder for several clubs, including Santos FC Cape Town Youth, Santos FC Cape Town, All Stars FC, Chippa United FC, and Ubuntu Cape Town FC, all based in South Africa.
Bergman also played for Stellenbosch FC between 2019 and 2021 after joining from Ubuntu Cape Town FC, a period during which he worked closely with then head coach Steven Barker.
Bergman joins Barker’s technical bench, which has recently been reinforced with the addition of Zambian goalkeeping coach Davies Phiri and fitness coach Sibusiso Meshack Makhula.
