Former Mamelodi Sundowns administrator Peter Koutroulis has also been appointed technical advisor at the club. Koutroulis says his mission is to take the club to the DStv Premiership at the end of the season.

“My confidence comes from the fact that I’ve worked for five different NFD clubs and as an NFD club you need money because without money you forget about soccer,” he said.

“I got these things from Mr Patrice Motsepe when my family helped Mr Motsepe’s Sundowns. You can see where Sundowns is today because Motsepe can sign any player. The cream of the players, that’s why he is winning the League every year and will win it for another 15 years.”
