Marumo Gallants have confirmed the appointment of Phuti Mohafe as their new head coach ahead of the 2026/27 Betway Premiership season, with the highly regarded tactician making the switch from Limpopo rivals Polokwane City. Mohafe leaves behind a Polokwane side that finished seventh in the league last season, securing qualification for the lucrative MTN8 tournament, after earning widespread praise for guiding the club through a period of steady progress in South Africa’s top flight. His departure now leaves Polokwane searching for a replacement as they prepare for their upcoming campaign.
