South African premier league side, Supersport are considering giving one of their most loyal players, Warriors veteran, Onismor Bhasera a coaching job with the club’s juniors when he is done with playing.

This was announced by the club’s chief executive officer, Stan Matthews, during SuperSport United’s season’s award ceremony held at Randpark Golf Club on Monday.

Matthews said he feels a coaching job is the best reward for Bhasera, 37, who has been one of the club’s most loyal players.

After ending the season in third position behind league winners Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates, who finished second, SuperSport will participate in the Caf Confederation Cup.

As a result, the club chief is keen on keeping Bhasera next season, so that he helps stabilise the youthful squad.

“We might have to keep Bhasera for the next six months so that he helps us in the African competitions.

“Bhasera has been loyal since he came here. I still stand here saying he will coach in my academy. That kind of loyalty, love and passion is rare in professional and African football,” Matthews said.

Bhasera spent last season as the team captain and Matsatsantsa had an impressive season.

They missed out on an opportunity to secure a Caf Champions League spot by three points.

Another Warriors player, Ronald Pfumbidzai will also play in the Caf Confederation Cup having being signed by the club.

Pfumbidzai is due to join the Gavin Hunt-coached side in July after the end of his Chippa United contract, replacing Bhasera, who is in the twilight of his career.
