SuperSport United head coach Gavin Hunt has opened up about what went wrong during his short-lived tenure as Kaizer Chiefs boss. Hunt, who recently celebrated his 1000th match as a head coach, moved to Kaizer Chiefs during the 2020/21 season with one of the most impressive CVs in the history of South African football. Throughout his illustrious coaching career, he won four league titles – three at SuperSport United and one with Bidvest Wits – plus a number of Cup titles.

What it pays to be part of Bok matchday squad The SA Rugby Industry Collective Agreement has provided an explanation of minimum wages for Springbok, franchise, provincial and sevens players, detailing in each case what portion of the salary is covered by SA Rugby. Where SA Rugby does make a contribution, this is over and above each player’s income from their club contracts and endorsement deals. Though it seems a professional rugby career is well-paid, a closer look at the tiers below the Springboks perhaps sheds some light on why so many South African players choose to play abroad. The…
Djed Spence’s resurgence at Tottenham Hotspur has caught the attention of many, and now, one of his teammates has had his say on the full-back’s potential. Dejan Kulusevski believes the 24-year-old can go on to have a “very good career”—but only if he keeps up one key trait. The last three months have been a whirlwind for Djed Spence. The full-back had to wait over a year to make his Premier League debut for Tottenham, finally getting his chance in December 2024. When the opportunity came, he seized it in style—grabbing an assist and helping Spurs keep a clean sheet. His…

Dejan Kulusevski could find himself on the bench when Tottenham host Manchester City on Wednesday. Kulusevski has been one of Spurs’ better-performing players this season and scored in the 4-1 Premier League win against Ipswich Town at Portman Road on Saturday (22 February). However, Postecoglou could take a risk and leave the Swede out against Manchester City in the Premier League at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Wednesday (26 February). Postecoglou suddenly has a lot more options available to him with players returning from injury, even though every Spurs star isn’t quite yet ready. As a result, there will be room for the Australian to…
26 phases of Bok resistance The defensive masterclass that laid the foundation for South Africa’s victory over England in the 2019 Rugby World Cup final. The All Blacks, Wallabies, France and Ireland can all lay claim to being the game’s top attacking force at some point during the professional era, but no team comes close to matching the appetite for defence displayed by the back-to-back world champion Springboks. This point is best showcased by the Boks’ patient and resilient defence against England at the 2019 showpiece where Jacques Nienaber’s unit absorbed and repelled 26 phases of England attack in the…
Tottenham Hotspur will be hoping that their two-game winning streak in the Premier League stretches to three after they face Manchester City. However, it will be easier said than done for Ange Postecoglou to mastermind a league double over Pep Guardiola — who himself will be aiming to bounce back from a two-game losing run after their defeats against Real Madrid and Liverpool. Guardiola claimed Tottenham are more conservative nowadays and do not rush to create attacks like they generally have done under Postecoglou — which is a sign of how much he is studying his opponents as well. But whether it is…

During this challenging period, only a few of the Tottenham first-team squad have managed to avoid injury setbacks. Amongst them is Dejan Kulusevski, who has arguably been Tottenham Hotspur’s standout performer this season. Dejan Kulusevski opens up on the demands of playing every game for Tottenham In a recent interview with Sky Sports, the Swedish…
