Durban City chairman is upbeat ahead of the new campaign.
Durban City chairman Farook Kadodia believes the club has laid a strong foundation ahead of the new Betway Premiership season, insisting that recruitment has gone hand in hand with preserving the identity that has driven the club's recent success.
"Pre-season has been very encouraging, and I am pleased with the work that has been done by the technical team and the players in training so far," said Kadodia. "Every new season presents a fresh opportunity to improve, and our focus has been on ensuring that we are fully prepared for the challenges ahead."
The sentiments do not give a true reflection of how busy the Pietermaritzburg businessman was during the off-season while preparing his team for their second season in the top flight. Durban City have reshaped both their technical team and playing squad following an impressive debut campaign in the top flight.
Durban City moved swiftly to appoint Khalil Ben Youssef as head coach after Pitso Dladla departed for Golden Arrows. Ben Youssef arrived with an impressive reputation after helping Kaizer Chiefs secure a third-place league finish last term, and has been entrusted with guiding City through a demanding season that includes domestic competitions and the CAF Confederation Cup.
