South Africa

Given the Orlando Pirates head coach post in 2001 after several negotiations,[5] Kerjean was obstinate about his system of promoting young talents near the end of the year[6] and guided the Bucs to third-place in the league and a 3-0 triumph over Kaizer Chiefs in the Soweto Derby.[7] However, he was discharged from his post in summer 2002 following poor results and the failure of his young talent system.[8] After a stop in Dubai,[9] Kerjean was announced as head coach of Black Leopards in 2005, aiming for a top eight finish[10] before being dismissed a month later.[11]

Reflecting on his stay in South Africa, the French mentor claimed that safety was an issue and that he had to be accompanied by bodyguards.[9]

Applied to coach a few South African clubs in 2010.[12]
