Samsunspor Overview

Amakhosi may have enjoyed an undefeated opening to their Betway Premiership campaign, but club legend Tsepo Masilela has raised serious questions regarding the tactical identity under Fernando Da Cruz. The former Bafana Bafana full-back suggested that the head coach's rigid adherence to his principles draws striking parallels to Ruben Amorim's tenure at the Red Devils.

The Rockets are reportedly preparing to restructure their technical team, with Bernard Parker set to be moved from his position as head coach into an assistant role. The decision comes after a disappointing run of form that has left the club languishing in the lower half of the Betway Premiership table.

The 27-year-old right-back has hit the ground running at Chloorkop, earning high praise for his seamless transition into the team during their recent continental clash. The former Polokwane City defender made an immediate impact, providing the decisive assist in the Brazilians’ victory over the Saudi giants.

The veteran coach has hit back at critics questioning his squad selection, specifically addressing the inclusion of the right-back. The defender, who recently moved to Mamelodi Sundowns from Polokwane City, earned a national call-up despite a significant lack of competitive action for his new club.
