Shabab Almaylia Overview

The Soweto giants have wasted no time in making their intentions clear for the upcoming campaign by officially confirming their first acquisition of the transfer window. Amakhosi are looking to overhaul a squad that has struggled for consistency, and the arrival of a proven Premier Soccer League performer marks a significant statement of intent from the Naturena hierarchy.

Check out the latest transfer news and rumours from Amakhosi, Buccaneers, Masandawana, the rest of the PSL teams and South African players and coaches plying their trade abroad.

After weeks of speculation Amakhosi have officially ended their search for a new permanent manager by appointing Fernando da Cruz as the man to lead the club forward. The 53-year-old French tactician, who is no stranger to the Naturena setup, has signed a two-year contract with an option for a further year as the club looks to build on their third place finish in last season's PSL.

The former Soweto giants co-coach has pulled back the curtain on the recruitment strategy required to return the Glamour Boys to their former glory. Despite leading the club to a third-place finish and continental qualification last season, the Tunisian tactician saw his contract run out, but he has left behind a clear warning for the Amakhosi hierarchy.
