Joburg on the rise as former manager struggles on return
Posted by: Newswire, 2024-05-10, 207 ViewsJohannesburg have returned to prominence in the Rest of the World region and are primed for an assault on the so called heavies.
They were ranked dead last just 4 seasons ago but have risen to a respectable 88th after being resurrected and achieving back to back promotions to Division 1.
So far they have settled into life with the big boys with 2 draws, one notably against their former manager currently installed at Ankara. She bought her strong Ankara team to Joburg and was greeted with a mixed welcome. The Joburg team on the pitch showed their abilities by holding their own against the Turkish outfit and the performance was met with praise from many of the stronger teams in the division.
The young team seem to be coping well with the transition to the big leagues but time will tell as it’s early day's in the season but so far so good for Joburg.
