Racing de Casablanca Overview

Former Amakhosi star Siphiwe Tshabalala has called on South African football to undergo a significant transformation in standards following the conclusion of the 2026 World Cup. The legendary winger, who famously scored the opening goal of the 2010 tournament, believes the domestic game must evolve to match the elite quality displayed on the global stage.

The Soweto giants have already added to their squad in the current transfer window, but Amakhosi legend believes the club cannot afford to stop there. The iconic midfielder insists the Glamour Boys must continue strengthening their squad if they are to match the quality and depth of South Africa's top sides.

The new Amakhosi tactician has issued a firm rebuttal to those questioning his suitability for the role following a significant period away from club management. The 53-year-old Frenchman is preparing to lead the Glamour Boys into a new era starting with their league opener against Kruger United on Saturday evening.

The veteran coach has lifted the lid on the club's decision to pass on the opportunity to sign a former Kaizer Chiefs defender. Despite the player's pedigree and long-standing history at Naturena, the Winelands outfit opted against a permanent deal following a trial period.
