Pitso Dladla on borrowed time at Arrows? Club said to be close to pulling trigger
One win in eight games has reportedly put Pitso Dladla’s job under review at Golden Arrows, and Mandla Ncikazi is said to be leading the race to replace him.
The pressure is mounting at Golden Arrows. According to SoccerBeat, Dladla’s position is now under review after a winless run that has produced just one victory from eight matches.
For a club with ambitions in the Betway Premiership, those numbers are impossible to ignore.
One win from eight games is a damning return. Every week that passes without a result that turns things around adds weight to the review, and the board is said to be weighing its options carefully.
Orlando Pirates assistant coach Mandla Ncikazi is understood to sit at the top of a shortlist of potential replacements. His name carries weight at Abafana Bes’thende, and if the club moves, he is the man most likely to get the call.
Before joining Pirates over five years ago, he was doing a good job at Arrows, and has now gained even more experienced having worked with various coaches during his time at the Soweto giants.
Golden Arrows now face a crucial stretch. A quick turnaround on the pitch could buy Dladla time, but another slip could seal his fate. The Durban side have a decision to make, and it may not be long coming.
