On Monday, veteran defender and captain of SuperSport United, Onismor
Bhasera, looks set to take a new direction in his football, as he
approaches the twilight of his career. The 37-year-old Zimbabwean
international joined Matsatsantsa a Pitori in 2016 from the now defunct
Bidvest Wits on an initial three-year contract and in 2019 renewed for
another three years before adding another year, which will see his
contract end in June this year.
The technical team and management have agreed that with Bhasera’s playing
days coming to an end, he needs to give back to the team and will be given
an opportunity to coach within the youth structures at the club. According
to a source close to the club, “They want him to do his coaching badges
first and from there they will integrate him into the youth coaching
system, just like they did with Andre Arendse, Ricardo Katza and Thabo
September. They value his contribution to the team and don’t want to see
his valued experience go to waste.”
