The DStv Premiership could be in for a shake-up, with two clubs eyeing potential coaching changes and Belgian firebrand Luc Eymael emerging as a possible candidate for both.
Lamontville Golden Arrows are reportedly unhappy with their recent run of four consecutive league defeats, putting coach Mabhuti Khenyeza under scrutiny.
Management is concerned about the dip in form and considering potential replacements. Richards Bay are also facing coaching uncertainty, with Keitano Tembo’s job on the line after just two wins in 14 games. Languishing in 15th position, pressure is mounting on Tembo to deliver positive results soon.
WHAT LUC EYMAEL PREVIOUSLY ACHIEVEDÂ
Eymael, a 64-year-old coach with a history of success in South Africa, is reportedly eyeing a return. He previously led Free State Stars to their first cup final in 24 years and guided Polokwane City to a respectable sixth-place finish.
His experience and proven track record make him a tempting option for both Arrows and the Natal Rich Boyz. Sources close to SN24 suggest Eymael is a frontrunner for the Arrows job if they decide to make a change.

Similarly, the uncertainty surrounding Tembo’s future at Richard’s Bay might open the door for Eymael to take charge there.
Eymael’s extensive coaching experience across Africa, including leading Al Merreikh to the CAF Champions League semi-finals, adds to his appeal.
His desire to return to the PSL and continue his success in South Africa further strengthens his case. With the season halfway, the next few weeks could be crucial for both Arrows and Richards Bay. If the current results don’t improve, Eymael’s arrival as a potential savior could be on the horizon.
