Coaching career

Johnson is one of many coaches that came under the tutelage of Ted Dumitru. Before accepting the head coaching role at Platinum Stars in 2012, Johnson mainly worked as youth and assistant coach for various clubs in South Africa among them assistant coach and later head of youth development at Ajax Cape Town, Mamelodi Sundowns and most recently Platinum Stars. In his first season as head coach he led Stars to a 2nd-place finish in the PSL and subsequently joined SuperSport United to replace the outgoing Gavin Hunt. Johnson managed SuperSport between 2013 and 2014 for 39 matches, achieving 1.36 points per game.

After being sacked by SuperSport he returned to Platinum Stars in March 2015, guiding the club to third place in the league in the 2015–16 season. After a ninth-placed finish in 2016–17, Johnson left Platinum Stars when the club decided not to renew his contract.

On 8 August 2017, he was appointed as the head coach of newly-promoted AmaZulu in the Premier Soccer League – succeeding Joey Antipas.. He was fired by AmaZulu in August 2019, after a poor start to the Club’s 2019/20 season, accumulating 2 points from 15 (first 5 games), and not having won a game since April 2019.

Following the resignation of Luc Eymael from Black Leopards on the 27th December 2019 , Johnson was named as the new Black Leopards mentor on the 29th December 2019 . On the 27th of January 2020, after being in charge of Leopards for only 5 matches, Johnson was suspended from his duties as head coach – this due to a string of poor performances (four losses and one draw). On the 31st January 2020 it was announced that Johnson had officially parted ways with Black Leopards .

He holds a SAFA Level III Pro Licence, Dutch FA (KNVB) certificate, Brazil FA Advanced Course certificate and his preferred formation is 4-4-2.
