The Nigeria international has reclaimed his place at the Chilli Boys following a period of uncertainty regarding his future. The Super Eagles goalkeeper is now determined to lead the club to a successful season under the guidance of chairman Siviwe Mpengesi.
The former Mamelodi Sundowns and Al Ahly head coach has broken his silence regarding a potential return to the South African national team dugout. With current boss Hugo Broos nearing the end of his contract, speculation has reached fever pitch regarding who will lead the nation into the next cycle. Mosimane has now confirmed that the South African Football Association (SAFA) has initiated contact with him and other candidates to discuss a long-term succession strategy.
Former Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi has expressed his delight at seeing the 30-year-old return to club football with the Chilli Boys, but he has coupled his praise with a stern warning. While the move offers the former Enyimba star a chance to rebuild his career, Akpeyi insists that reclaiming Nigeria national team’s number one shirt will be a significant challenge given the competition from Europe-based stars.
