Stuttering start for Maduka as Magesi prepare to face reigning champions Sundowns

JOHN Maduka’s first few weeks in charge of Magesi have been far from the fresh start he envisioned.

The former Royal AM coach, who previously faced the unenviable task of steering a financially troubled and administratively unstable club, is now grappling with similar challenges in Limpopo, albeit on a smaller scale.

Maduka arrived at Magesi with optimism, determined to instil structure and stability in a side eager to prove itself in the Betway Premiership.

However, the results have so far failed to match the promise of his appointment. In five league matches this season, Magesi are yet to taste victory, registering two defeats and three draws.

The team currently sits 14th on the log, a precarious position that makes this weekend’s clash with defending champions Mamelodi Sundowns in Pretoria an enormous challenge.
