The Amakhosi head coach has admitted he is uncertain whether his squad currently possesses the consistency required to overhaul their title rivals at the summit of the Betway Premiership. Despite an encouraging start to the campaign that sees The Glamour Boys remain undefeated, the French tactician is wary of the gap that still exists between his rebuilding project and the established heavyweights of South African football.
The 39-year-old has revealed that he has been the subject of significant interest from the Middle East, with clubs in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Bahrain all making inquiries for his services. However, the Pyramids FC head coach intends to resist the lure of an immediate new challenge in favour of a restorative break from the technical area when his time in Cairo comes to an end.
Former Buccaneers star Mpho Makola has delivered a blunt assessment of the club's performance following their disappointing Wafa Wafa defeat. The Soweto giants were unable to defend the silverware as the Pretoria-based outfit proved too strong in a high-stakes encounter in Durban.
The Portuguese tactician has lifted the lid on the remarkable physical and emotional hurdles the Bafana Bafana star overcame to inspire his side to Wafa Wafa glory. The midfield talisman was the driving force behind the Brazilians' 2-0 victory over Orlando Pirates, despite entering the match carrying a significant injury and dealing with immense family tragedy.
The 28-year-old forward has reflected on the Sea Robbers’ 2-0 defeat to Masandawana in the Wafa Wafa showdown, which saw the Buccaneers surrender their crown. The loss also ended their hopes of securing a historic fifth consecutive title in the competition.
Bafana Ba Style finally ended the Buccaneers' stranglehold on the Wafa Wafa trophy with a hard-fought Durban win, but officiating controversies overshadowed the contest. Despite the celebrations for the Brazilians, former star Junior Khanye has hit out at the decision-making that defined the final at Moses Mabhida Stadium.
