Chiefs and Pirates must not be happy with the second spot - Says Ramovic.


TS Galaxy coach, Sead Ramovic, says Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates are too big as football clubs to be fighting for the second spot.

Mamelodi Sundowns emerged as champions for the sixth time in a row when they won the Dstv Premiership title with seven matches to spare.

According to Ramovic, Chiefs and Pirates have all the resources they need to challenge Sundowns instead of being 20 points behind.

"To be honest, clubs like Orlando, Chiefs…fantastic clubs, good squad, good coaches, financially strong…top supporters, probably the best in Africa," Ramovic said as quoted by SABC Sport. https://www.sabcsport.com/soccer/news/sead-ramovic-slams-tv-pundits-calls-for-educated-analysis

"But they are happy with second spot? No man…this can’t be. That’s not success, they have to fight for the title and not be 20 points behind Sundowns," he added.

In light of the two Soweto giants' performances this season, and the points gap between them and Sundowns, Ramovic says the 'expects' who say the two sides had a good season must be joking.

"And the experts want to tell me they’ve had a great season? That’s a joke."

Ramovic's TS Galaxy, will host one of the Soweto giants, Orlando Pirates on Sunday 30 May at Mbombela Stadium, with the kick-off at 15:00.

TS Galaxy are currently 11th on the log with 31 points after 26 matches, while Pirates are third with 46 points in 26 matches.

Hire qualified coaches instead of 'clueless' pundits - Says Ramovic.


TS Galaxy head coach, Sead Ramovic, is a man who is not afraid to speak his mind. This time around it is TV pundits who have received a sucker punch from the tactician.

Ramovic, probably angered by the utterings of a certain TV pundit, has come out guns blazing, saying the TV expects must get some football education.

Ramovic went on to mention the likes of Roy Keane and Thierry Henry, who are former players, TV pundits, and highly qualified coaches.

"Roy Keane, Thierry Henry and Jammie Carragher…top players and experts in England. All of them have the Uefa Pro, so it means top class level for a pundit. What about South Africa? They have someone who played maybe four games for Orlando Pirates and then disappeared. No [football] education, and then he talks about our structure that he hasn’t really seen?," Ramovic told SABC Sport. https://www.sabcsport.com/soccer/news/sead-ramovic-slams-tv-pundits-calls-for-educated-analysis

On the point of hiring qualified unemployed coaches as TV pundits, Ramovic might have a point.

Their analysis could make watching the half-time and post match analysis more educational.

"I then ask myself ‘you don’t have a clue about soccer’. When I watch a lot of games, explanations from him about the game and structure…I hear a lot of nonsense. So it means you have to put the level up. He cannot get a job like this, he’s not at the right level. You have fantastic coaches [in the PSL] with knowledge, but don’t have jobs. Why not let them be the experts that everybody can learn something from?"

Opinion: Ofori has every reason to believe Bucs can compete in Africa.

Having a born again Orlando Pirates team that won a cup double last season in the domestic league competing in the CAF  Champion...
