But the former Bafana Bafana goalkeeper has now returned to Ikamva to head a holistic restructuring at the club.
“After a year-long detour to the FIFA World Cup with Ghana, Roger de Sa has finally returned to Ikamva to take up the role of Technical Director at Cape Town Spurs, a homecoming that completes the most ambitious restructuring in the club’s proud history,” the club stated.
“De Sa’s initial focus will be on overseeing the ABC Motsepe League team and the club’s reserve side competing in the HollywoodBets League, ensuring stability at the very top of the club’s football pyramid. Once this senior and reserve structure is solidified, he will gradually shift his attention to overseeing the soccer schools teams further down the development pipeline.
“The club’s immediate sporting mission remains unequivocal: the fight for promotion from the ABC Motsepe League and a return to professional football.”
Spurs have also appointed Duncan Crowie, who will be the head coach of the HollywoodBets League side, and also oversee the U16 and U18 age groups, while coach Anees Abaas has been entrusted with the club’s foundation phase and will also head the foundation group while also taking charge of the U12 and U14 teams
CEO Alexi Efstathiou has lauded the club’s overall restructuring, which cumulated with the return of De SA: “Every piece of the puzzle is now in place. Spurs are back, and we are here to stay!”
