In conversation with Coach Rulani
The PSL trophy calligrapher can start sharpening their tools and it is time for the curator at Chloorkop to start making space in the trophy cabinet.
Why you may ask? Well it's certainly been confirmed beyond any shadow of doubt that for the record-extending sixth consecutive season, the league championship trophy will once again be engraved with Mamelodi Sundowns’ name.
The DStv Premiership trophy will continue to take residency at the club’s headquarters meaning that the Brazilians are the undisputed kings of domestic football. When they host Cape Town City in their next league match on tomorrow at Loftus, it would be the unofficial coronation of a superbly slick and worthy champion team confirmed with seven matches to spare. And all this happened without them kicking a ball in the league this past weekend and you probably wondering how... Well, in simple terms, Sundowns can’t be caught at the top of the pile because SuperSport United's 1-1 draw with Chippa United in Gqeberha on Saturday means they can only end on 48 points and Sundowns are already on 49.
In conversation with Gerry Cox
The Premier League is slowly but surely coming to a close and oh boy, what a season it's been. Extremely unpredictable and thrilling. This past weekend was no different and the seats got a bit too hot for some coaches.
Now two more gaffers lost their jobs over the past 48 hours, taking the season's top-flight tally to 12. Sacked Chelsea manager Graham Potter is the new favourite to replace sacked Brendan Rodgers at Leicester City.
Potter's sacking follows after a largely unimpressive reign, with the decision coming after the Blues were beaten 2-0 by Aston Villa on Saturday. Crazy how things went sour for Potter, who enjoyed a promising start to life at Chelsea by going nine games unbeaten after signing a five year deal a few months back. The former Brighton boss took charge of 31 games, during which he won 12 games, drew eight and suffered 11 defeats, leaving him with a win percentage of 39%.
City on the other hand confirmed the departure of Rodgers on Sunday afternoon, the Northern Irishman leaving by mutual consent following a 2-1 loss at Crystal Palace 24 hours earlier.
Now that result left City in the Premier League relegation zone and extended their winless run to six games whilst Chelsea's loss saw them slipping into the bottom half of the table.
