SuperSport United confirm former Kaizer Chiefs defender has joined their technical team after Hunt's departure

SuperSport United find themselves in a precarious position, sitting 15th on the log with 21 points after 21 games. This poor run of form led to the departure of head coach Gavin Hunt, as the club felt he could not turn things around.

In response, the club appointed Andre Arendse as interim coach, with Grant Johnson also joining the technical team. The club hopes that these former Bafana Bafana players can inspire the team to escape relegation.

Additionally, they announced the return of former player Onismor Bhasera to the club, joining the new technical team.

His specific role, however, has not been confirmed. Bhasera's appointment is aimed at nurturing young talent within the club. With crucial fixtures ahead, SuperSport United need immediate improvements to avoid further trouble.

According to a statement from SuperSport United, the club is "thrilled to announce the return of club legend Onismor Bhasera, who will be joining the technical team to help guide the next generation of talent."

The statement highlights Bhasera’s "wealth of experience and deep understanding of the game," emphasizing that his addition will "reinforce SuperSport United’s commitment to nurturing talent and maintaining a competitive edge in the league."

Furthermore, the club believes his "familiarity with the club’s philosophy and his ability to connect with players on a personal level" make him an ideal fit for the role.

Hunt recently reached the milestone of managing 1,000 games in South African football, but his celebration was short-lived as he was dismissed soon after.

The new technical team faces a massive challenge in steering the club away from relegation danger.

With limited time, they must quickly implement a strategy that ensures results.

One of their concerns is a postponed match against Golden Arrows, which remains undecided.

The team has managed only one victory in their last five matches, highlighting their struggles.

If they fail to turn things around soon, they risk dropping to the bottom of the table.

SuperSport United will face fellow strugglers Cape Town City, who have also made changes to their coaching staff.

Just like Hunt, Muhsin Ertugral was dismissed, and the club brought in Diogo Peral and Roger De Sá to lead the team.

This match will be crucial for both sides as they look to regain form and escape the relegation battle.

SuperSport’s new technical team will need to get their tactics right to secure a much-needed victory.

A loss could further complicate their survival hopes.
