Why Sundowns Ladies coach Jerry Tshabalala has no desire to coach in the PSL

Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies head coach Jerry Tshabalala has explained why he has no desire to coach in the SA elite league – PSL.

Tshabalala has been at the helm of Banyana Ba Style since 2012 and is deemed one of the most decorated coaches in African women’s football.

Hailing from Tembisa, Tshabalala has dominated women’s football, securing two CAF Women’s Champions League titles, two COSAFA Women’s Club Championships, and an unprecedented five consecutive Hollywoodbets Super League titles with Sundowns Ladies.

To top it off, the Chloorkop-based club has also won CAF Club of the Year twice under the tutelage of Tshabalala.

JERRY TSHABALALA OUTLINES REASONS WHY HE’S NOT READY TO COACH IN PSL

Tshabalala mentioned that he is not prepared to coach in the SA men’s top division as he believes he has much more to accomplish with Sundowns Ladies.

“No, I don’t have ambitions of going into men’s football anytime soon,” said Tshabalala in an interview with FARPost.

“For now, I still feel like I haven’t achieved what I want to achieve with Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies. There are still plenty of things that we need to achieve as a team.

“So, for now, my ambition is to see the team competing at the Club World Cup. Then, one could say I have achieved almost everything with the team. But for now, I haven’t achieved anything.”

Sundowns Ladies are currently in Morocco, competing in the 2024 CAF Women’s Champions League while aiming to retain their title.

Tshabalala’s charges have played two matches, securing one victory and one defeat in the group stage of the CAF Women’s Champions League.

As things stand, they are placed third in Group B with three points, just one point behind group leaders Edo Queens.

Sundowns Ladies will play their last group stage match on Saturday, 16 November 2024 at Stade Larbi Zaouli. The game will start at 19:00 [SA time].
