Ghanaian defender Joseph Adjei will work under South African legend Benni McCarthy at Cape Town City.
The Bafana Bafana all-time top scorer has been appointed as the new head coach on a three-year contract.
McCarthy replaces another former South Africa international, Eric Tinkler, who left the Cape Town club to join SuperSport United earlier this month.
The appointment of the 39-year-old could help to revive the career of the Ghanaian after making just six appearances for the side last season.
