Premier Soccer League (PSL) strugglers Magesi FC have appointed veteran coach Allan Freese to guide the team going forward.

The 69-year-old comes in the place of John Maduka, who has now officially parted ways with the club, having been sidelined for the past two matches.

“This is to inform the public that Magesi Football Club has on this day the 11 February 2026 terminated the Coaching Contract of John Maduka with immediate effect by mutual consent,” stated the club.

“The club has also concluded Contractual engagements with Coach Allan Freese who will resume Coaching responsibilities at Magesi FC with immediate effect. This statement by the club brings weeks of uncertainty on the future of Coach John Maduka.”

Magesi FC are currently bottom of the standings in South Africa’s top-flight and are fighting to beat the relegation axe.

Freese previously guided the likes of Platinum Stars, Free State Stars and Richards Bay.
