The ever-changing nature of coaching positions is a recurring theme in South African football, and one man has recently returned to a familiar role, achieving a resounding victory in the process.
Mabhuti Khanyeza, a former prolific striker in the Premier Soccer League, has taken up the head coach position at Golden Arrows once again for the 2024/25 season.
Earlier this year, in March, the Arrows ownership had to make a decisive move as Khanyezas tenure saw the team suffering 11 defeats out of 12 matches across all competitions.
Fortunately for them, the experienced Steve Komphela was available after a troubled six-month spell with Moroka Swallows, which ended sooner than anticipated.
Komphela had left Mamelodi Sundowns to take on the role, eager to lead a team once more, while Khanyeza had begun the 2023/24 season with Arrows, achieving seven victories in their first ten matches.
