South Africa’s ascent to the summit of continental football has been officially recognised by one of their latest rivals following a dominant display in AFCON qualifying. After watching his side fall to a 2-1 defeat at the Orlando Amstel Arena, Guinea head coach Paulo Duarte offered a glowing assessment of the tactical evolution taking place under Pitso Mosimane.

Richards Bay chairman Sifiso Biyela has opened up on the unique pressures of South African football management following the appointment of Dimitar Pantev. The Natal Rich Boyz turned to the Bulgarian specialist after a difficult opening stretch that saw the club struggling near the bottom of the Betway Premiership table.

The brutal nature of the Betway Premiership has claimed another managerial casualty as Durban City FC have reportedly parted ways with Khalil Ben Youssef. The former Kaizer Chiefs man, who was only appointed to the role three months ago, has been relieved of his duties despite leading the club through a continental campaign.

The 62-year-old mentor has kicked off his second stint in charge of the national team with a victory, but the legendary tactician is far from satisfied with what he saw on the pitch. Despite securing a vital three points in their opening 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier, the former Mamelodi Sundowns coach has highlighted a recurring issue that could derail their continental ambitions.
