Mngqithi: Polokwane City Not To Be Underestimated
Don't sleep on Polokwane City! That's what former Mamelodi Sundowns assistant coach Manqoba Mngqithi has said about the Limpopo outfit. Polokwane City might not be the biggest name in South African football, but they're certainly not to be underestimated. They're coming off a season where they were in the relegation battle, but they've got some new players and a new coach in the hot seat, and they're looking to make some noise.
Mngqithi, who was recently appointed head coach of Golden Arrows, knows a thing or two about what it takes to be successful in the PSL. After all, he's won a ton of trophies with Sundowns, and he's got a keen eye for talent. When he says Polokwane City is a team to watch out for, you better believe it.
What's got Mngqithi so excited? Well, for one, they've got a new coach in the form of Joel Masutha. He's a former player and assistant coach at the club, so he knows the team inside and out. He's also got a reputation for being a shrewd tactician, so he's bound to get the best out of the players.
Besides a new coach, Polokwane City has also brought in some new faces. Players like Sibusiso Mthethwa and Tshepo Matete, who've both played at a high level before, could be key to their success. They've also got some talented youngsters in the mix.
It's still early days, but Mngqithi is right, Polokwane City is a team to watch. They've got the potential to be a real dark horse in the PSL this season. If they can put it all together, they could be a surprise package and even make a push for the top eight. So, don't be surprised if you see Polokwane City causing some upsets this season. They might just be the underdogs everyone's overlooking.
