The former Stellenbosch FC head coach has hit out at the lack of opportunities for domestic managers at South Africa’s elite clubs. Now managing in Tanzania, the veteran tactician believes a glass ceiling exists that prevents local talent from leading the country's most decorated sides.
The Buccaneers have moved to secure the future of one of South Africa’s most promising young talents while simultaneously honouring a tragic loss to the local game. The Soweto giants have completed the signing of Ronaldo Adams from Stellenbosch FC, a move laden with emotional significance for the football community.
The Glamour Boys' habit of settling for a share of the spoils has become a concern as the Soweto giants look to keep pace with the teams leading the Betway Premiership. Amakhosi legend Neil Tovey has called for patience with the head coach, but believes the Naturena-based team must start turning draws into wins if they are to stay in the title conversation.
Amakhosi have been handed a significant injury concern after young attacker Luke Baartman was forced off during South Africa U23’s international friendly against Algeria. The promising forward was unable to complete the first half, adding to the growing list of fitness worries for the Glamour Boys medical staff.
Amakhosi are often the envy of South African football for their ability to scout top talent, but even the Glamour Boys can occasionally let a future superstar slip through their fingers. The club has now opened up about the circumstances that led to them passing on a talented midfielder, who has since developed into one of the country's most exciting prospects.
The pacey winger has finally broken his silence on the transfer saga that nearly saw him land at Naturena before the current campaign began. Despite a lucrative proposal from the Soweto giants, the former Mamelodi Sundowns man opted for a different path.
