Grobina Overview

The Brazilians tactician has pulled back the curtain on the internal dynamics at Chloorkop, highlighting the vital role of the club's leadership in their continental success. Following a season that saw Masandawana reclaim their throne as the kings of Africa, the Portuguese coach emphasised that the psychological environment fostered by the hierarchy was just as crucial as the work done on the training pitch.

The former Amakhosi co-coach has pulled no punches in a scathing assessment of the club's current standing in South African football. Following his recent departure from Naturena, the Tunisian tactician warned that the Soweto giants are currently nowhere near the level required to challenge the country's elite.

Following reports that Abafana Bes’thende mentor could be set for a surprise return to Gauteng, Monday morning brought fresh developments as news filtered through that the former Masandawana tactician has reportedly parted ways with the KwaZulu-Natal-based outfit, as anticipated amid mounting speculation.

The Brazilians chairman has sent a defiant message to the rest of the Betway Premiership after seeing his side’s domestic dominance come to an end. Despite a historic CAF Champions League triumph, the Masandawana chief admitted the pain of losing the league title to Orlando Pirates while vowing a ferocious response in the 2026/27 campaign.
