Sportivo Atenas Overview

The Tshwane giants are continuing to redefine the boundaries of African club football after securing yet another piece of silverware for their ever-expanding trophy cabinet. Following their latest continental success, the Sporting Director has hailed the squad for reaching a new stratosphere on the global stage.

The veteran coach has hit back at critics questioning his squad selection, specifically addressing the inclusion of the right-back. The defender, who recently moved to Mamelodi Sundowns from Polokwane City, earned a national call-up despite a significant lack of competitive action for his new club.

The Brazilians forward has opened up on his emotional return to the South African national team, insisting he never doubted his ability to perform at the highest level. After a challenging period abroad, that saw his international prospects dim, the attacker is back in the mix under the guidance of Pitso Mosimane.

Former Amakhosi full-back Isaac Mabotsa has expressed his bewilderment at the tactical direction of the club under the new head coach. The Glamour Boys’ struggles continued last weekend, as they were held to a frustrating goalless draw by Golden Arrows, leaving them trailing significantly in the title race.
