Brandon Truter plotting PSL topflight return

It’s out in the open now that Truter has parted ways with the Motsepe Foundation Championship outfit, having joined them last year with the mandate to try and get them promoted to the topflight. 

With City missing out, the club has decided to make another attempt next season – although allowing the coach to move on and beginning their search for his successor ahead of the 2025/26 campaign. 

Truter on the other hand, his agent Basia Michaels has told SABC Sport, is plotting his own way back to the elite league.  

“It would not be right to first acknowledge that chairman David Mogashoa was once more keen to give coach Truter a chance to promote another lower division team like he did with Swallows a few years ago,” Michaels explained. 

“As is common, there was a review of the season at the club and the best way forward seemed to give Coach Brakkies an opportunity to explore possibilities that might come up in the Betway Premiership. 

"It’s unfortunate that Upington City were not able to get as far as the play-offs at least, but they are not too far off from that target, from what we can see."

Pressed on whether Truter had become unattached because of enquiries from other topflight clubs during the off season, Michaels was coy. 

“Let us not get ahead of ourselves. A lot of the clubs are reviewing the previous campaign and maybe we will get a call,” she said.
