According to a source, Krmpotic has taken over the reins from ex-Chippa United tactician Roger Sikhakhane, who was been on sick leave.
"Royal Eagles have appointed the coach and his name is Zlatko Krmpotic with immediate effect," the informant tells snl24.com/kickoff.
The 60-year-old Krmpotic was at Eagles' training ground yesterday when they played a friendly match with AmaZulu.
His compatriots Kosta Papic and Vladislav Heric previously had stints in charge of the National First Divison outfit.
Krmpotic was last on the books of Zambian side ZESCO United, who he joined in May last year. He guided the side to league honours before leaving in April.
He also had stints with OFK Beograd in his homeland and Turkish topflight club Ankaragucu.
