OFFICIAL: Magesi FC bring in former Orlando Pirates mentor as their new head coach replacing Clinton Larsen in Carling Knockout champions' bid to avoid relegation from PSL

Magesi FC has appointed Owen Da Gama as their new head coach. He replaces interim coaches Papi Zothwane and Jackie Ledwaba, who stepped in following Clinton Larsen's resignation.

Da Gama brings a wealth of experience, having previously coached at top clubs like Orlando Pirates. His arrival marks a turning point for the Limpopo-based side as they seek stability. The decision reflects the club's ambition to secure their future in the elite league.

Magesi FC has already shown potential this season by winning a trophy, proving they have a capable squad. However, the team’s current struggles suggest they need fresh direction and new ideas.

Larsen’s departure might have opened the door for this transition. Da Gama’s experience could provide the necessary leadership to steer them back on track. The club aims to climb out of relegation danger while leveraging the foundation Larsen had built.

Da Gama’s immediate challenge is to guide Magesi FC out of their precarious position at the bottom of the table. His first test will be an away clash against his former team, TS Galaxy.

This fixture will provide insight into how quickly he can implement his strategies. The pressure to secure points and lift the team’s morale will be immense. A positive start could signal a turning point for both Da Gama and the struggling side.
