South Africa coach Morena Ramoreboli has revealed why there's still doubt in his coaching abilities despite having won the Botswana Premier League title with Jwaneng Galaxy.
Ramoreboli won his first league title as a coach last season with Galaxy but surprisingly his contract was only renewed by one year.

"Yes for me at the same time I agree, maybe a long term (contract) would have been good," Ramoreboli opened up on Marawa Sports Worldwide.
"But at the same time let's understand that we're in Africa and in Africa, where, I'm sorry to put it this way but in Africa, as much as you're doing well, there will always be those, 'Eish, but will he do it again?' and all of that.
"So for me it's always good to work under pressure and understand that when you have a season, you can have another season and another, up until five years where it was renewed every season and that's when they start to say, 'Now we can see what he can do'," he said.
"Like myself, I never played professional football, I don't have that profile, so people don't have that history, they always say, 'Hey, will he do this? Can I trust him?' So it's important to keep working to say there's an opportunity."
The former Maluti FET College tactician, who qualified the club to the group stages of the CAF Champions League for the first time in their history in his debut campaign in 2021, however, revealed that there was interest in his services after he won the league with Galaxy but it's unfortunate some clubs approached his agent after he renewed his contract.
"Yes, my agent was talking to a couple of (PSL) clubs but at the same time I indicated I believe more in growth, I'm not worried about being comfortable wherever I am but I need stability," he revealed.

"I need something that will make me grow as a coach. So yes he (the agent) was busy with some other clubs, the unfortunate part came after I renewed the contract but he was busy with some other clubs, that's all I can say," he added.
Botswana-based Ramoreboli will have a huge task of keeping Bafana in the COSAFA Cup tournament, against the Zebras on Saturday, who lead them by two points, in the penultimate Group A clash.
