, ,

Kaizer Chiefs stand-in captain Zitha Kwinika will miss Tuesday’s Betway Premiership encounter due to suspension.

Ouaddou – What I Like About Sebelebele

, ,

Orlando Pirates coach Abdeslam Ouaddou has outlined what impresses him most about utility player Kamogelo Sebelebele.  The 23-year-old was named Man of the Match in Saturday’s Soweto Derby as the Buccaneers cruised to a 3-0 win over arch-rivals Kaizer Chiefs.  Ouaddou has been deploying Sebelebele at both right-back and on the wing since his arrival at the start of the campaign. The French-Moroccan coach praised Sebelebele’s selfless approach, highlighting his team-first mentality rather than a focus on individual goals. “Mike is part of a collective project, and inside this collective project, he had a fantastic performance,” said Ouaddou. “We knew

Gallants Take Action And Suspend Coach

, ,

Marumo Gallants have announced the immediate suspension of head coach Alexandre Lafitte after a run of seven defeats across all competitions. The 28-year-old arrived at the club with an impressive reputation as the replacement for Abdeslam Ouaddou – who departed for Orlando Pirates – having won the Ligue 1 in Ivory Coast with Stade Abidjan and returned them to the CAF Champions League. After an impressive start in the league, it appeared a masterstroke for the club – who also reached the Carling Knockout Cup final, where they eventually lost to the Buccaneers. However, recently since the return from the

Mamelodi Sundowns coach Miguel Cardoso has shared his thoughts on Monnapule Saleng after the attacker made his debut for the club.  The left-footed forward featured for the first time since completing his January move, having initially been sidelined by a quad injury he arrived with at Chloorkop.  Saleng came off the bench in Sundowns’ 3-1 win over Sekhukhune United in the Betway Premiership on Sunday, impressing in his cameo and setting up Iqraam Rayners for his opening goal.  Cardoso expressed satisfaction with what he has seen from Saleng in both matches and training, noting his versatility and hinting he could

Khune Calls Out ‘Disrespectful’ Chiefs Players

, ,

Kaizer Chiefs legend Itumeleng Khune has referred to the club’s players as ‘total disrespect’ after their thumping Soweto Derby defeat to Orlando Pirates. This comes after Amakhosi’s heavy 3-0 loss to their fiercest nemesis at FNB Stadium on Saturday. The Glamour Boys also succumbed to their fourth straight defeat in all competitions. They lost 2-1 to Zamalek bowing out of the CAF Confederation Cup and then failed to defend their Nedbank Cup title after being dumped out by Stellenbosch FC at the first hurdle. Stellies then piled more misery on them by beating them 2-1 in midweek league action before

Tinkler Fumes After Conceding Late In Downs Defeat

, ,

Sekhukhune United head coach Eric Tinkler has reminded his players of football fundamentals after their late defeat to Mamelodi Sundowns. Babina Noko were hoping to cause a rare upset after levelling matters through Bradley Grobler but substitutes Monnapule Saleng and Iqraam Rayners combined well as Masandawana raced to a 3-1 win at Loftus Versfeld. Tinkler’s charges thus failed to narrow the gap on Sundowns and remain in third spot with 32 points from 19 matches. The former Cape Town City mentor expressed his dissatisfaction on how the players did not follow through despite their half-time team talk. “The quality that
