Super Cup Overview

The Chilli Boys once again defied the odds to retain their Premier Soccer League status, sealing survival with a crucial final-day win over the Soweto giants to avoid the relegation/promotion playoffs. In typical fashion, chairman Siviwe 'Chippa' Mpengesi made a daring late-season call by appointing Brandon Truter just a week before the decisive clash, a move that proved inspired as the Eastern Cape outfit completed another remarkable escape.

An Amakhosi legend has sent a clear message to the current Glamour Boys squad regarding the arrival of the new head coach. The former striker, who experienced life under French management during his playing days, believes the players must prepare for a major cultural shift at Naturena.

The newly appointed second assistant coach has underlined the vital importance of continuous learning in the modern game, warning that coaches who fail to evolve risk being left in the shadows. Having recently secured his CAF A Licence, the Amakhosi mentor is determined to bring a fresh level of expertise to the Naturena dugout alongside incoming head coach Fernando da Cruz.

Former goalkeeper Brian Baloyi has launched a stinging verbal attack on the Amakhosi former co-coach, labelling the Tunisian as being shallow during his tenure at Naturena. The exchange follows the coach’s public assessment that the current The Glamour Boys squad lacks the requisite quality to challenge heavyweights Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates.
