Fadluraghman "Fadlu" Davids (born 21 May 1981 in Cape Town, Western Cape) is a retired South African football (soccer) striker who last played for Premier Soccer League club Maritzburg United.[1] He was twice the highest goalscorer in the South African National First Division.

Since his retirement in 2012 Davids has served as assistant coach to Ernst Middendorp at Maritzburg United. When Middendorp left Martizburg United in 2016, Davids was named interim coach of Maritzburg for a third time in his career. His brother, Maahier Davids, was named as his assistant.[2]

Upon the arrival of Roger Da Sa, Davids resumed his position as Maritzburg's assistant coach. However, only seven games later he reclaimed his position as interim coach after Da Sa's resignation.[citation needed]

Davids has gained a reputation for promoting younger players after creating first team opportunities for the likes of Siphesihle Ndlovu‚ Bandile Shandu and Mlondi Dlamini – who all started out as ball boys.[3]
