The Glamour Boys' chances of finishing the season without silverware are high after crashing out of the Nedbank Cup and CAF Inter-club competition in recent weeks. The Soweto giants are limping in the Premier Soccer League as well, leaving the defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns and old rivals Orlando Pirates to fight for the title in a two horse race.
The search for the source of Amakhosi’s problems continues as pressure mounts over their poor run of results.

The fear that Amakhosi could finish the season trophyless could become a reality if the current trend continues. After the midweek defeat to Richards Bay, the Glamour Boys dropped to the sixth position, and the fight could shift from the title to a top-eight finish.

The inconsistent results have intensified scrutiny on the Soweto giants as pressure continues to mount. Different opinions have since emerged about what could be going wrong at Naturena.
The former Manchester United strikers' tactician has been doing quite well in his coaching career after hanging up his boots.

The Soweto giants have been struggling in recent matches, piling more pressure on their already embattled technical team.

Bahlabane Ba Ntwa are fighting hard for points that will take them out of the danger zone. A never-surrender fighting spirit saw them mount a comeback after going down and eventually win, piling pressure on the equally struggling Chilli Boys.
The suspensions have come at quite a critical moment for Amakhosi, who desperately need to return to winning ways before things get even worse. One of the suspended stars just came from an injury, and he will not be available to offer his experience as the Glamour Boys tackle their next league opponents. The Soweto giants will host Durban City at the FNB Stadium on Sunday, March 15.
As Cedric Kaze and Khalil Ben Youssef struggle to stabilise the boat, questions have been asked about whether the co-coaches are the right people for the job. Initially, they appeared to be on the right course when the Glamour Boys reached the group stage of the CAF Confederation Cup. However, recent results have been negative, throwing the duo under the spotlight again.
There have been questions raised about some decisions made in the South African top tier, some of which have cost teams trophies as well as points.

The 25-year-old versatile defender joined the Soweto giants in the off-season transfer window from Portuguese second-tier outfit Alverca to help in strengthening the then Nasreddine Nabi-led Amakhosi.

The Soweto giants are having a nightmare as they continue struggling to get results in competitive outings. Despite the massive signings made in the off-season transfer window, the Glamour Boys are almost guaranteed a trophyless 2025/26 season. They are trailing the league leaders by 11 points following the most recent defeat. And, the club's fans are making their feelings clear about the position Amakhosi find themselves in.
The Glamour Boys have been struggling to deliver across all competitions, crashing out of the Nedbank Cup, CAF Confederation Cup, and are now limping in the South African top-flight football. The technical team and the Amakhosi management are now feeling the pressure from their supporters, who are demanding answers.
Amakhosi fans are frustrated following their team's poor run in the last five outings across all competitions. The Soweto giants are at risk of ending the season trophyless after falling short in the Carling Knockout, Nedbank Cup, and, most recently, CAF Confederation Cup. Their only hope is in the Premier Soccer League, where they are facing stiff competition from Orlando Pirates and defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns.
The Glamour Boys faithful are reeling in pain as Amakhosi struggle to rediscover the mid-season form that saw them get positive results. The climax of it all was last weekend when they conceded three without reply against the Buccaneers at the FNB Stadium. The defeat has lowered the expectations of their fans, who anticipated a PSL title tilt.
The talented duo was missing on Saturday as the Glamour Boys were humbled by the Soweto giants in the South African top-tier assignment. The victory for the visitors widened the gap between the two teams to 11 points, further underlining their ambition of going all the way and beating Mamelodi Sundowns to the crown.
The 30-year-old made his first appearance last weekend as the Glamour Boys hosted their old rivals, the Buccaneers, at the FNB Stadium. It happened to be a bad outing as Amakhosi suffered their worst defeat against Bucs in 25 years, which saw the Premier Soccer League hopes this season suffer a massive blow.
Within a month, Amakhosi faced big setbacks in the season, and questions remain about whether they can quickly dust themselves off and return to winning ways. Elimination from the Nedbank Cup and the CAF Confederation Cup saw the Glamour Boys' trophy ambitions go up in smoke. Fans expected them to bounce back against their traditional rivals, but they were served additional heartbreak.
The South African top-tier side has been frequently making changes in the technical team since their promotion to the top. So far, three men have been sacked this season, and most recently, the Technical Director followed suit. The club management has now come clear on the decision made a couple of days ago.
After facing off in the first Soweto derby of the season, both Bucs and the Sea Robbers are staring at bad news. Amakhosi and the Buccaneers will be in action in the midweek but will have to do duties without key players. The stars are suspended, meaning the coaches of the respective teams will have to look out for alternatives.
Bahlabane ba Ntwa have announced the immediate suspension of their head coach.

The former Buccaneers midfielder has insisted that just one single player at the Glamour Boys is good enough to break into Abdeslam Ouaddou's starting eleven right now.

When the Glamour Boys announced the acquisition of the Nigerian attacker, there was excitement among fans, with the 24-year-old's proven track record in local football pointing to him scoring many goals in the Black and Gold. But injuries have left the striker unavailable for the bulk of Amakhosi's matches and in danger of producing his worst season goal tally of his career.
