Pitso questions SA football after the sale of SuperSport

‘These things would not happen in rugby’

Renowned South African coach Pitso Mosimane has questioned how football in the country is being run following the sale of big institutions such as Bloemfontein Celtic, Bidvest Wits, and recently his former side, SuperSport United, among others.

Matsatsantsa is where the now highly decorated coaching career started for Mosimane, when he was recruited as the club’s assistant coach to the late Thomas Madigage in 1999.

Just like Wits and Celtic, the history of SuperSport vanished into thin air when the club was sold to Siwelele FC after facing deep financial difficulties.

“After I heard the news about SuperSport, the first person that I thought about was coach Gavin Hunt. The guy has won four Premier League titles, and both the teams he won the titles for no longer exist - SuperSport and Bidvest Wits.
