Former Orlando Pirates coach Milutin Sredojevic will be tried for sexual assault at the New Law Court in Gqeberha in May.
On Thursday, the 51-year-old made a brief appearance in the New Brighton Magistrate's Court where the case was postponed for the trial, according to the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA).
Sredojevic, who is the current coach of the Zambian men's national team, is out on R10 000 bail.
He was charged after a 39-year-old woman accused him of sexual harassment during a Cosafa Cup tournament in Gqeberha on 7 December last year.
According to the NPA, the incident happened at Wolfson Stadium when the woman delivered coffee to Sredojevic and others.

When she asked him if he wanted sugar with his coffee, the football boss allegedly said no and added that he needed another type of sugar while he pointed at the woman's private parts.
It is alleged that the lady complained to her boss who, in turn, warned Sredojevic not to do it again.
