DStv Premiership: 3 Managers Facing the Sack When the 2023/24 Season Officially Ends

• Numerous managers have already been sacked this season in the DStv Premiership
• SuperSport United have struggled with injuries that impacted their performances
• Cape Town City had not won a game in 2024 until they finally beat Moroka Swallows

The DStv Premiership season is winding down, and while Mamelodi Sundowns have been crowned champions, there is still a bit to play for.

The relegation battle continues, and the fight to be in the top eight also goes on.

While many focus on how the table will look at the end of the season, Sports Brief looks at which coaches could still lose their jobs.

DStv Premiership managers who could be sacked

Gavin Hunt

Mamelodi Sundowns' congested fixture schedule causes debate among football fans ahead of DStv Premiership game

Things have not been going well for SuperSport United.

Once Sundowns’ closest challengers, Matsatsantsa a Pitori are now languishing in sixth place on the table.

Hunt’s side went on a six-game streak without a win before ending it against Royal AM in their last fixture.

Injuries have contributed to the struggles, with Hunt admitting earlier this year that it was a battle to ‘put the back-four together’, FAR Post noted.

With SuperSport falling down the table and getting closer to finishing out of the top eight, the club may look to replace Hunt ahead of the new season.

Eric Tinkler

Like SuperSport, Cape Town City was a high-flying team that has failed to reach the same heights this season.

Tinkler’s side had not won a single game this year in all competitions until finally beating Moroka Swallows.

They now find themselves seventh on the league table, four points above Kaizer Chiefs in eighth.

John Maduka

Things have not been going to plan for Royal AM this season.

Shauwn Mkhize’s side are in 14th place and are just six points clear of the relegation zone.

Thwihili Thwahla are too far ahead to be automatically relegated but could find themselves in the playoff spot.

With MaMkhize demanding the best from her team, Maduka could find his head on the chopping block. Despite their struggles, he recently stated that they could still make the top eight this season, SuperSport.com reported.

Mkhize happy to have Maduka back

Sports Brief previously reported how Royal AM owner, Shauwn Mkhize was happy to have Maduka back.

The Malawian-born coach surprisingly left the club and ended up going to work with Maritzburg United.

When things didn’t work out there, he returned to Royal AM, something MaMkhize was thrilled about.
