South African Premier News
South Africa may have come back from a goal down to salvage a point in a 1-1 against Czechia in Atlanta on Thursday, but head coach Hugo Broos absolutely has to find a way to prevent the team from conceding early.
Kaizer Chiefs have hired Fernando da Cruz as their new head coach, with two more additions to their technical team.
Orlando Pirates head coach, and former Morocco defender, Abdeslam Ouaddou has send his message of support to his former team, ahead of their opening FIFA World Cup clash against Brazil on Saturday.
South Africa fans, spoken to by ESPN over the course of the South African Premiership season, have unanimously backed Hugo Broos as the right man to lead the team at the FIFA World Cup, putting aside club biases.
Cross began his career as a centre-back, so he adds cover in that position, where he has occasionally featured even in recent times for Chiefs. His ease on the ball ensures that wherever he plays, he can be an asset.
