TS Galaxy boss Tim Sukazi has lifted the lid on why he opted to go for Dan Malesela as the new coach instead of retaining the services of Owen Da Gama.
Da Gama was in charge of Highlands Park, who sold their PSL status to the Rockets, and Sukazi admitted the former Bafana Bafana interim mentor was in the running for the job.
However, after careful consideration, a decision was made that they needed someone who understood TS Galaxy inside out, and that coach was none other Malesela.

Another reason Sukazi gave was that there was going to be little time for Da Gama to get the players to understand what he expects from them and vice-versa, and therefore, TS Galaxy needed a coach who would hit the ground running.
