Gavin John Hunt (born 11 July 1964) is a South African former football (soccer) player and coach who is the current manager of Stellenbosch. [2]
A nuggety right-back, Hunt spent almost his entire playing career with Hellenic. However, his retirement came soon because of an achilles tendon injury and went straight into coaching.
Hunt's greatest success came at SuperSport United, where he won three consecutive PSL championships from 2007-08 to 2009-10.
He previously managed Seven Stars, Hellenic FC, Black Leopards and Moroka Swallows. [3]
On 28 May 2021 Kaizer Chiefs released him from his contract after a string of poor results with the club. [4]
He managed newly promoted side Durban City in the first half of the 2025/26 season. [5] [6]
He was announched as the Stellenbosch coach after the departure of Steve Barker in December 2025. [7]
