Why it matters for Lamontville Golden Arrows FC
Mngqithi brought a wealth of championship-winning experience back to Arrows. His ability to transform the squad into a top-eight contender in such a short space of time has ensured that his stock remains high across the African continent.

Mngqithi's next move could see him venture beyond the borders of the Betway Premiership. His agent, Mike Makaab, revealed that interest in the 55-year-old is not limited to local clubs.
