The Prosport International chief has addressed a wave of speculation linking the current Golden Arrows head coach with a move to Naturena for next season. It is believed the Soweto giants are currently searching for a long-term leader to advance the project initially begun under Nasreddine Nabi and now overseen by co-coaches Khalil Ben Youssef and Cedric Kaze, the Tunisian's former assistants.
The pressure has intensified for the Tshwane giants in an increasingly fierce title race with Orlando Pirates. Despite trailing Masandawana by three points, their rivals hold a significant advantage with a game in hand and a superior goal difference, throwing the battle for Premier Soccer League supremacy wide open. With the run-in now reaching boiling point, every remaining fixture could prove decisive for both sides, and the Portuguese coach has now shifted his focus toward grinding out maximum points and letting the title race unfold on the final day.
Junior Khanye has insisted that Petersen was the real hero in the Soweto giants’ and the Brazilians’ draw. Thabiso Monyane picked up the official Man of the Match award; however, the outspoken former Amakhosi winger believes the goalkeeper’s solid display between the posts was the only reason the Glamour Boys walked away from Loftus Versfeld Stadium with a point.
The Tunisian mentor has come out firing in defence of his young guns on the grand stage following a bruising battle with Mamelodi Sundowns.

The former Mamelodi Sundowns and Jomo Cosmos midfielder has sensationally claimed that the referee failed to issue red cards during the blockbuster clash between the Brazilians and Amakhosi. The shock 1-1 outcome at Loftus Versfeld has been dominated by conversations regarding the officiating after a series of heavy challenges left multiple players with serious injuries.
The former Bafana Bafana and Amakhosi star delivered a blistering critique of referee Luxolo Badi following the explosive showdown between the Brazilians and the Soweto giants. The fiery 1-1 stalemate at the sold-out Loftus Versfeld Stadium descended into chaos at times, with a flurry of crunching tackles and dangerous challenges leaving several players nursing serious injuries.
