WHAT DOES IT ALL REALLY MEAN?

To understand this best, we have to explain the previous technical team setup.

Manqoba Mngqithi was the head coach, Rhulani Mokwena was the 1st team coach and Steve Komphela was the senior coach.

The new arrangement now sees Mokwena stepping up to head coach, Komphela moving up to be 1st team coach while Mngqithi will now be the senior coach.

According to ranking, the head coach enjoys the highest authority, followed by the 1st team coach and then the senior coach. Make sense now? We really hope it does.

Meanwhile, the league action has now time to wait. Sundowns are in the KwaZulu Natal midlands to battle Maritzburg United on Tuesday evening at 19:30.
