آليانزا أتلتيكو نظرة عامة

Former international Benson Mhlongo has sent a clear message to South Africa coach regarding the national team selection for the upcoming global showpiece. As the deadline for the final roster approaches, the retired player believes the tactician must remain open to rewarding late surges in form.

The Naturena hierarchy have already made their decision regarding the futures of their technical bench. Despite leading the Soweto giants to their best league finish in six seasons, the club management has opted for a fresh direction as their co-coaches contracts approach their expiration date.

Naturena is reportedly preparing for a seismic shift in their squad dynamics as the club looks to offload 10 players this winter. Management is set to wield the axe in a bid to refresh a side that has struggled for consistency, with several high-profile names appearing on the chopping block.

The Congolese striker was sent off against Usuthu for removing his shirt in celebration of his goal. It was suggested by several pundits he should face sanctions from his club for what was described as "amateur behaviour" by at least one ex-pro who also demanded Amakhosi hit him with a massive financial penalty. Judging from the 28-year-old's Instagram account, the club followed through on the disciplinary procedures.
