Baxter, 66, had been jobless since parting ways with the South African national team upon their return from the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations tournament in Egypt.

The former SuperSport United mentor was heavily linked with a return to Kaizer Chiefs during the current campaign, but all those rumours have now been put to bed, after his new club posted a cryptic tweet on Baxter’s imminent arrival and announcement.

Odisha are currently sixth in the 10-team league with 25 points after 18 matches.
