“Romain joins the 2023-24 PSL champions from FIFA's high-performance department where he worked on the development of football,” Sundowns said.
“Folz, who holds a Uefa Pro Licence, has previously worked in South Africa [with Marumo Gallants and AmaZulu] and across Africa in Guinea, Botswana, and Ghana.
“Sundowns' players and technical team have warmly received Romain into their [preseason] camp in Austria.”
Folz had little success with Gallants and AmaZulu as a head coach but, at just 34 years of age, can be seen as a rising star in the profession.
Sundowns added they “will play more competitive matches [in Austria] in the next few days as part of the ongoing preseason preparations”.
