Mabhuti Khanyeza is set to leave Golden Arrows amid an uncertain future, according to iDiski Times.
Khanyeza, the 42-year-old co-head coach of Golden Arrows, appears poised to exit the club, marking the end of a dynamic coaching chapter. After transitioning to coaching in 2019 under Muhsin Ertuğral at Maritzburg United, Khanyeza built a diverse coaching resume with stints at AmaZulu and TS Galaxy.
His arrival at Golden Arrows in October 2020 brought fresh energy. Initially working alongside Mandla Ncikazi and Lehlohonolo Seema, he soon took the reins as a caretaker coach before securing a permanent role.
A rollercoaster tenure at Golden Arrows
Khanyeza’s tenure at Golden Arrows has been a mix of triumphs and challenges. Alongside co-coach Vusumuzi Vilakazi, he propelled the team to an impressive start last season, even leading the league early on. However, their form spiraled into an 11-game winless streak, testing the team’s resilience.
Khanyeza overcame the challenges and guided his team out of danger during a difficult period. This season, he worked closely with Musa Bilankulu and Kagiso Dikgacoi, leading Golden Arrows to an impressive sixth-place position with four victories, one draw, and three losses in their first eight games.
Exit on the horizon?
Rumours surrounding Mabhuti Khanyeza’s departure gained momentum after Golden Arrows clinched a dramatic 3-2 victory over Cape Town City last weekend.Sources revealed that Khanyeza informed the club of his decision to step down shortly after the match, leaving fans and insiders buzzing with speculation.
While his next move remains unclear, insider information suggests he has not participated in the club’s training sessions this week, further fueling rumors of an imminent exit.
“We haven’t seen Mabhuti Khanyeza at training this week, which has raised questions about his future with the club,” a source close to Golden Arrows revealed. “There’s definitely a sense that something significant is happening behind the scenes.”
What’s next for Khanyeza?
Fans and pundits are left wondering if Khanyeza is gearing up for a new coaching role elsewhere. His departure would mark a significant shift for Golden Arrows, as his tactical contributions and leadership have shaped the team’s current standing.
