Ararat Overview

Check out the latest transfer news and rumours from Amakhosi, Buccaneers, Masandawana, the rest of the PSL teams and South African players and coaches plying their trade abroad.

The Soweto giants’ tactician has broken his silence regarding the controversial comments that suggested he could walk away from the club at the end of last season. After leading the Buccaneers to the Betway Premiership title in May, the Moroccan manager had sparked major concern among the Ghost by hinting that a lack of energy might force him to step down.

The Sea Robbers skipper has laid down a significant marker ahead of the new campaign, insisting that nothing short of total dominance will be acceptable for the Soweto giants. After a historic season that saw the Buccaneers secure three major trophies including an elusive league title, the defender believes the club must now maintain those elite standards to satisfy their massive fan base.

The Buccaneers head coach has detailed the strategic thinking behind the club’s surprise acquisition of a Norwegian striker. The 27-year-old marksman arrives at Soweto with a reputation for clinical finishing, a trait the Moroccan tactician believes was missing during the previous campaign.
