Premier League news

The former Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates star has continued from where he stopped while with Wydad Athletic Club in the Botola Pro league. He was on target on Sunday afternoon as the 39-year-old South African tactician guided the Libyan heavyweights to a big win in his debut in the North African country.

In search of a new challenge, the South African tactician moved from Algeria to Libya. In Tripoli, he will be in charge of an iconic club in the North African country, where he is expected to guide them back to glory. The 39-year-old tactician was in charge of MC Alger for just eight months, and in that period, he lifted the Algerian Super Cup.

The South African coach has broken his silence on the shock decision to trade Algerian giants MC Alger for Libyan side Al Ittihad. The 39-year-old tactician, who leaves his former club at the top of the table, insists that his motivations were rooted in a long-term sporting project rather than a massive payday.

The Libyan giants had expressed their interest in the South African tactician, and finally, they have landed their man. The Premier Soccer League title winner has left the Algerian side mid-season following his appointment before the current campaign began. After leaving the Algiers-based outfit, with whom he won the Algerian Super Cup, he embraces a new challenge in Libya.

The North African side have moved quickly to replace the South African tactician who quit over the weekend. And, in a twist of fate rarely seen in football, it looks like the two coaches are basically 'swapping' clubs.

The South African tactician is feeling the heat as the Algiers-based side struggles. The Algerian league champions are winless in the last four games: a draw and three defeats, which puts the 38-year-old under immeasurable pressure. Eyes are now on him to see how quickly he will arrest the poor run and help the club return to winning ways.
