Kekana open to making a return to Sundowns as a staff member

During half-time on Sunday, as the Brazilians beat AmaZulu 1-0, the 37-year-old was honoured for his service to the club.

Kekana retired at the end of last season, bringing a close to his 10-year stay at Chloorkop, where he won six top-flight titles.

The PSL veteran, who also won two league titles with SuperSport, may be eyeing a coaching or mentorship role as he believes the Sundowns youngsters can learn from his experience.

"I must say that when I left the club the opportunity was there for me to be part of the team," he said about the possibility of returning to Sundowns, according to Times Live.

"I will speak to the owners to check if the opportunity is still there - remember that was a year ago.

"If the opportunity is still there, wow, I will be a lucky guy from the village who has an offer that doesn't expire.

"It is something I am working on. I have worked with many coaches who inspired me to be the person I was and am today."

He added: "There are so many things I have learnt in my career and one of them is to lead players and people. I was very fortunate I got that opportunity to lead here at Sundowns.

"One day I would like to lead the younger ones to let them know that this game we love is so fragile and at the same time unpredictable."
