The exclusion of Mamelodi Sundowns captain from the PSL Goalkeeper of the Season nominees has sparked a heated debate across the country’s football community. Former South Africa goalkeeping coach Alex Heredia has led the calls of disbelief, labelling the decision to leave out the national team’s number one as completely nonsensical.

The South Africa coach has spoken with Belgian media and confirmed that his record-breaking tenure as the team’s boss has come to an end following the conclusion of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. But the 74-year-old did, once again, express his hope that he could still be involved in some sort of part time capacity with the national team.
