Jan Olde Riekerink
The former Galatasaray boss is the latest manager to be linked with the vacant position at Cape Town City. Reports suggest the Citizens are already looking to bring in a Dutch flavour to their display after having done so with a few members of their squad including goalkeeper Peter Leeuwenburgh and goalkeeper coach Sjoerd Woudenberg.

Manqoba Mngqithi
The Mamelodi Sundowns assistant coach hasn't indicated if he's ready to leave the Tshwane giants for City, but he previously expressed his desire to coach a team that is capable of winning the league title after learning the ropes under the wing of Pitso Mosimane over the past few seasons. His last job as head coach was at Golden Arrows between 2012 and 2013.

Muhsin Ertugral
The Tukish manager has been without a club since leaving Ajax Cape Town but everyone knows his love for Cape Town teams as well as his good relationship with John Comitis. He hasn't thrown his name in the hat as yet but he definitely cannot be ruled out as a possible replacement for Benni McCarthy at Cape Town City.

Cavin Johnson
Johnson has already spoken about the position. In an interview with Goal on Monday, the former AmaZulu coach said he hasn't been approached by anyone at Cape Town City as he's busy keeping himself up to date with the trends of coaching around the world. However, he was one of the first coaches to be linked with the job at City.

Vasili Manousakis
Manousakis understands the culture of the team better as he has been with Cape Town City for a while now. He has been given the job to the lead side as the management continues their search for a permanent coach but could he be the right man to lead the Mother City-based outfit? How City perform during this period could be a determining factor on whether or not he should be given the job on a permanent basis.
