Sekhukhune United head coach Cedric Kaze has revealed the mandate he has been handed ahead of the 2026/27 season.
The Burundian tactician was appointed during the off-season, replacing Eric Tinkler after leaving Kaizer Chiefs at the end of the previous campaign.
Kaze says the club’s minimum expectation is to maintain the standards set over the past three seasons by securing another top-five finish in the Premiership.
“It’s a team that finished in the top five for the last three seasons. And the least is to finish where they were, top four,” said Kaze.
“And everything else can be like a bonus.”
Meanwhile, he’s also happy about what he has at his disposal and the new signings that joined this transfer window.
“I’ve found as well, first and foremost, a team that is well established. The previous coaches, they have done tremendous work,” he added.
“It’s a team that has already, you know, the core of it that has played together for the past two, three seasons. The only thing is we lost a couple of players that were important for the last few seasons. That’s [Keletso] Makgalwa, [Renaldo] Leaner, Bradley Grobler and [Thabang] Monare.
“And, you know, we needed to bring fresh blood. But as well, we needed to bring players that are ready to deliver because this is PSL. The training has been going good.
“And I think that they are getting on the right path for understanding what we want from them.”
