Katza, who stopped playing in 2012, played for nine at the club before taking up a role as coach in the side’s development structures. During his time as a player, Katza won three Absa Premiership titles, the SAA Supa 8 and Nedbank Cup.
The former Bafana Bafana defender is set to take up the role of director of football at Grey College.
“I have been with SuperSport United for 15 years and it has a been a successful journey both as a player and coach,” he said.
“I am grateful towards the club for allowing me to be part of the Matsatsantsa family, not only as a player but as a coach and in life as a person. I have decided to move on to challenge myself with the amount of experience I have learned during my stay at United.”
SuperSport CEO Stan Matthews said Katza is a legend at the club.
"Ricardo has earned his place as a legend at Supersport United. As a former captain, he helped us make a record five consecutive domestic cup finals as well as lift the league championship for three consecutive years. He is the second most capped player at Supersport United in our history and beyond his achievements on the field, he has conducted himself as a true professional and family man.
“He is a true role model of a person and a player who was determined to improve his life, live a responsible and disciplined life and prioritise his lovely wife Adelaide and his kids in his decision-making processes. His move into the academy structures was smooth and he acquitted himself up and down our academy structures from Under 15 to our MDC team and first team.
“Ricardo will always have a special place in the annals of Supersport United's history and we wish him and his family well in their new venture in Bloemfontein and in his promising career which lies ahead.”
