Mashaba's future as Bafana coach hanging in the line

 Bafana Bafana coach Shakes Mashaba (Gerhard Duraan/BackpagePix)   Bafana Bafana coach, Shakes Mashaba look to be edging ever so close to the exit door at SAFA house after a string of unimpressive results during the 2017 AFCON qualifying games. Apart from Hlompho Kekana’s wonder goal against Cameroon, Mashaba’s team has been poor throughout the qualifying campaign having managed to collect three points out of a possible 12.The team currently sit at the third spot in group M and is left with two games to play. In the first game of the qualifiers Bafana Bafana played a goal-less draw to Gambia, a country which had been banned for a year by FIFA.   This was followed by a shocking 3-1 away defeat to ‘minnows’, Mauritania, a country which many of us first heard about few days prior to the Bafana Bafana game. From those two games it was clear that the team was heading in the wrong direction.   This was recently followed by poor squad selection for the two gam...

Thomas Tuchel, a German mentor eager to change Chelsea’s fortunes

Earlier this week, Chelsea unveilled Thomas Tuchel as their new manager following the sacking of Frank Lampard, the Club’s legend and all-time top goal-scorer. 18-months. That is the time Frank Lampard lasted at Chelsea as a Manager. However, this is a familiar sight to those who have followed Chelsea during Roman Abramovich’s time as the Club’s owner — a Russian billionaire unsatisfied by nothing else but instant results. Following an impressive first season with the club despite the FIFA transfer ban, the second season was expected to be even better — more especially with the club backing him in the transfer market. A great start to a season, ruined by a bad spell for Lampard has brought Tuchel to Stamford Bridge. Tuchel, who led Paris St Germain to a treble last season and a Uefa Champions League final, will reunite with Thiago Silva and Christian Pulisic whom he coached at PSG and Borussia Dortmund respectively.
