Sekhukhune United could make a coaching change, with support for the incumbent Brandon Truter waning.
Truter is in his first full season as head coach of Sekhukhune, after being appointed to the role on a three-year deal in November 2022.

By virtue of playing in the Nedbank final, Truter’s men qualified to play in the CAF Confederation Cup.
