After a season of narrowly dodging relegation, Magesi FC is now stepping into a brand new chapter—this time with a familiar face in South African football.
The club has officially named John Maduka as their new head coach, signaling a shift in direction and ambition ahead of the upcoming campaign.
Saying Goodbye to Owen Da Gama
For many fans, the departure of Owen Da Gama came as a surprise.
Da Gama played a crucial role in keeping Magesi afloat last season, stabilizing the team when it needed leadership most.
His efforts were widely appreciated, and his sudden exit has certainly raised eyebrows in football circles.
Welcoming John Maduka on Board
Taking over the reins is John Maduka, the former Royal AM boss who made a name for himself with some impressive performances during his time there.
Magesi’s management believes they’ve secured the right man to take the team forward, and they’re putting their full confidence in Maduka’s ability to deliver results.
From Uncertainty to Opportunity
Maduka had been out of the spotlight for a while, especially after Royal AM was expelled from the Premier Soccer League (PSL) earlier this year.
But his coaching credentials have never been in doubt.
Now, he gets a fresh start with Magesi FC, a team hungry to build on last season’s survival and chase greater success.
Taking the Helm of Champions
It’s worth noting that Magesi FC isn’t just any team—they are the reigning Carling Knockout Cup champions.
That means Maduka isn’t starting from scratch.
He’s inheriting a squad with potential, experience, and a recent taste of silverware.
Expectations are high, but so is the excitement around what this new partnership could bring.
Time Will Tell
The big question now is—will Maduka be the perfect replacement for Da Gama? Only time will tell.
But for now, there’s optimism in the air, and the club is hopeful that this coaching change could be the spark for a more stable and competitive future.
