Allan Freese (born 7 July 1956) is a retired South African football (soccer) player and coach. As of February 2026, he coaches Magesi.
Freese was replaced as Highlands Park head coach by Gordon Igesund after five league games into the 2016âÂÂ17 Premiership season and redeployed into the club's development coaching. He acted as the club's Head of Development before he took up a role as head coach with Royal Eagles in the National First Division (NFD), when their coach, Kosta Papic, had taken ill. Freese took permanent charge of the team still in the NFD at the start of the 2017/18 season, but following a poor start to their campaign, separated with Royal Eagles after just four matches.
Once the respected mentor and coach became available his former club Highlands Park F.C roped him in as assistant coach to longtime friend Owen Da Gama following their failed debut Premier Soccer League season. They led the club to successful promotion campaign where they broke numerous records in a swift return to Premier Soccer League. Together they led the club to unprecedented 7th position finish on the table in the 2018/19 season.
Freese joined AmaZulu as an assistant coach for the 2020/2021 season, this with the sale of his former club Highlands Park.
