After impressively outclassing Polokwane City in the MTN8 quarter-final, another challenge awaits Bucs as they begin their top-flight campaign at home.
This is a match that carries a lot of stakes for Bucs, and how the new coach lines up his charges will tell a lot about his ability to take charge of a bigger club.
The Moroccan is set to take charge of his first official match as the Soweto giants' coach amid scrutiny if he could match or surpass his predecessor Jose Riveiro.
The teenager's rise has been rapid. From making his professional debut in March 2025, to making his maiden Bafana Bafana appearance three months later and then skippering the Buccaneers in pre-season.
The former Morocco international has not yet settled on a player who will lead the squad this season, but has expressed satisfaction on one of the Sea Robbers' youngsters.
