Delhi FC Overview

The highly-rated tactician has finally opened up about the motivations behind his unexpected departure from Pirates to take over the reins at Arrows. The experienced tactician returns to a familiar environment, seeking to replicate the historic success he previously enjoyed with the KwaZulu-Natal outfit.

GOAL brings you all the available details ahead of the Carling Knockout clash between the Brazilians and Abafana Bes'thende at Loftus Versfeld Stadium. The two teams have already met three times in the 2026/27 campaign, including a cup encounter in which the Tshwane giants knocked out the Durban-based side. With that defeat still fresh, Arrows will be looking to settle the score.

The Sea Robbers' coach has lauded the impact of Thapelo Mokobodi, describing the midfielder as one of the finest talents currently operating in South African football. The 23-year-old has enjoyed a meteoric rise since arriving at Mayfair, culminating in a match-winning display during his first taste of the Soweto Derby.

The Brazilians head coach has delivered a candid assessment of his attacking department as the Pretoria side prepare to face Durban City. Despite recent struggles in front of goal, the Portuguese tactician remains confident that his strikers will rediscover their clinical edge at the Royal Bafokeng Sports Palace.
