SuperSport United just sold their top league spot to Bloemfontein Celtic for a massive fifty million rand. Sports reporter Robert Marawa broke the news about this huge deal on social media. A young businessman from Bloemfontein bought the entire franchise to bring Celtic back into the premier division. The team will play under a fresh name called Celtic United next season. This purchase marks Celtic's return to the highest level of South African football.
Two Zimbabwean stars face uncertain futures after this shocking sale. Nokutenda Mangezi finished his one-year contract on June 30 and SuperSport could extend his deal for another year. The new management might not want to keep the young player from Real Betis Academy Zimbabwe. Onismor Bhasera recently became an assistant coach but Celtic already has their coaching team ready. His job security looks shaky under the new leadership structure.
Terrence Dzvukamanja will leave SuperSport United to join local team Scottland FC next season. The striker played for SuperSport last year but decided to move elsewhere. This franchise sale could end the careers of many Zimbabwean players at SuperSport United. Players like Simba Nhivi, Washington Arubi, Evans Rusike and the late George Chigova all wore the SuperSport jersey. The South African Premier Soccer League must approve this deal before Celtic United can start playing.
