Super Cup Overview

In search of a new challenge, the South African tactician moved from Algeria to Libya. In Tripoli, he will be in charge of an iconic club in the North African country, where he is expected to guide them back to glory. The 39-year-old tactician was in charge of MC Alger for just eight months, and in that period, he lifted the Algerian Super Cup.

The arrival of the off-season signing was greeted with a lot of fanfare, as fans expected much from the Portuguese international. However, unlike Nuno Santos, who was signed at the same time, Reisinho has not quite settled. Against Marumo Gallants, he was withdrawn at halftime, raising questions about whether the coach is losing trust in him.

The Brazilians' recruitment of talent from overseas has largely proven to be spot-on in recent years, with players like Marcelo Allende, Brayan Leon, Arthur Sales, Nuno Santos, Miguel Reisinho and former forward Lucas Ribeiro Costa making a strong impact. Their success in identifying and integrating foreign quality has strengthened the Brazilians’ dominance domestically and making themselves a continental powerhouse. However, the club has also faced criticism for overlooking a high-performing Portugal-based talent who, some believe, could have added more value to the squad.

Going by the current standings and form, the Premier Soccer League is a two-horse race between Masandawana and the Sea Robbers. Naturally, Bucs' supporters would wish the Brazilians would drop points and vice versa, as each set of fans would want their team to lift the title in the end.
