TS Galaxy, currently sitting fourth on the DStv Premiership log, is on the verge of a significant achievement this season. With three games left, including matches against Orlando Pirates, Mamelodi Sundowns, and Polokwane City, coach Sead Ramovic believes a top 8 finish would be worth celebrating. Despite losing three key players—Given Msimango, Bathusi Aubaas, and Melusi Buthelezi—at the start of the season, Ramovic is proud of how the team has performed. “We are very happy about the process because when you talk about expectations, what are the expectations for a team like us?” Ramovic said. Without major financial power, the primary goal for TS Galaxy was simply to stay in the league. However, achieving a top 8 finish would make this season fantastic, and a top 5 finish would feel like winning the league. Ramovic emphasized that reaching the top 8 would be celebrated just as much as winning the league. In the past two and a half seasons, TS Galaxy has not spent much mo...

Mamelodi Sundowns coach Rulani Mokwena believes his players deserve top honors in the Premier Soccer League (PSL). He has praised Lucas Ribeiro, Marcelo Allende, and Teboho Mokoena, suggesting they should be in the running for the prestigious Footballer of the Season award. Mokwena also mentioned his goalkeeper, Ronwen Williams, as a top contender. "I don't think we've seen the best of Lucas Ribeiro yet, but he's a strong candidate for Footballer of the Season. Though I believe Ronwen Williams should win it, Ribeiro, Allende, and Mokoena are also deserving," said Mokwena. In addition to his own players, Mokwena acknowledged the contributions of Orlando Pirates' Patrick Maswanganyi and Stellenbosch's Jayden Adams. However, he emphasized that his Sundowns players have shown exceptional performances this season. "You have to commend Maswanganyi and Adams, but the reality is that Williams, Mokoena, Allende, and Ribeiro have been outstanding,...

Kaizer Chiefs are reportedly looking to appoint Alexandre Santos, currently the head coach of Petro de Luanda, as their new head coach before the next season starts. Santos would replace interim coach Cavin Johnson, who took over after Molefi Ntseki was fired. Although Johnson initially performed well, a recent decline in the team's performance has led the Chiefs to seek a new leader. Alexandre Santos, a 47-year-old Portuguese coach, has an impressive track record. He has won two league titles in Angola and is close to winning a third. His notable achievement includes leading Petro de Luanda to the semi-finals of the CAF Champions League in the 2021/22 season, where they defeated Mamelodi Sundowns in the quarter-finals. Santos has also served as an assistant coach at prominent clubs like FC Porto and Al Ahly and has experience with the Saudi Arabian national team. Despite interest from other clubs like Wydad AC and Simba SC, Kaizer Chiefs are hopeful to secure Santos ...
