The Buccaneers tactician has spoken candidly about his strained relationship with outgoing midfielder Patrick Maswanganyi. The Soweto giants’ boss suggested that the player's lack of discipline and coachability ultimately cost him a place in the South Africa squad for the recent FIFA World Cup.
Babina Noko second-in-command Paulus Masehe believes his side still have a card to play after two consecutive defeats against the Buccaneers. Both teams are set to face off against each other in the MTN 8 semi-finals second leg on Saturday, with the coach eying a possible upset at Orlando Amstel Arena to reach the final.
The Buccaneers tactician has hailed the impact of the new signing, suggesting the midfielder is destined to become a cornerstone of his tactical system. The 23-year-old has enjoyed a seamless transition to the Soweto giants since his arrival late in the transfer window.
Babina Noko assistant coach Paulus Masehe has jumped to the defence of his head coach following his late dismissal during the club's PSL clash with the Buccaneers. The encounter ended in a 2-0 defeat, but it was the late drama on the touchline that dominates the post-match talking points.
The Buccaneers climbed to the summit of the league table after securing a crucial win at home against Babina Noko. The Soweto giants claimed the win with goals from one of their development products and a Bafana Bafana star.
Khalil Ben Youssef finally ended the wait for his first win, guiding his side past Kruger United. Elsewhere, the Rockets showed their fighting spirit by coming from behind to sink Gallants, while the Chilli Boys battled their way to a valuable point on the road. The action continues as Golden Arrows lock horns with Stellenbosch, while Polokwane City will be hunting for maximum points against Milford on Wednesday.
