Sahaj Oberoi Posted July 11, 2023 Author Share Posted July 11, 2023 (edited) Well you know what, we are showing that there is certainly some talent in this team, and we can now win games, we just need to translate this form in the league to escape relegation. I have hope that this Black Leopards side can do some damage and go on an end of season run to stay up in the league. We progressed through to the next round in the cup as well.

Sahaj Oberoi Posted July 11, 2023 Author Share Posted July 11, 2023 We won our first league game and I am so happy that we did because now we are showing some fighting spirit and it is proof that my team has some talent.

Sahaj Oberoi Posted July 11, 2023 Author Share Posted July 11, 2023 Regardless of what happens this season, I just want to say one thing, this Black Leopards squad is the best squad so far I have possibly coached, I know I managed Lille on this save and they have better quality players, but the buy in from the players, the balance between attack and defense means that my philosophy is working and yes even when we were losing and drawing games, I could see potential in this team, and right now we can finish the season strongly. We have also reached the semi final of the South African Cup and we will be facing Richards Bay in the semi final. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sahaj Oberoi Posted July 12, 2023 Author Share Posted July 12, 2023 The battle to avoid relegation continues but then we have reached the final of the South African Cup. I am so proud of this team, we are fighters, no matter what we never quit and we always fight till the end. This is the quality I have admired the most in this team and regardless of what happens this is my best stint as manager, nothing can quite beat the excitement of coaching this Black Leopards side.

Sahaj Oberoi Posted July 12, 2023 Author Share Posted July 12, 2023 We survived relegation in the league and we finished 14th in the league, just above the relegation zone. We also lost in the final of the South African Cup against Kaizer Chiefs. I am very proud of this Black Leopards side for making it to the final of the competition and we had the necessary fight required to avoid relegation. So yes, we have made an impact on the side. Unfortunately for them, my former side Pretoria Callies got relegated from the division and we eventually survived at their expense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sahaj Oberoi Posted July 21, 2023 Author Share Posted July 21, 2023 RELEGATED. Black Leopards have been relegated from the South African First Division. I am devastated. Our form at the start of the season proved that we could confound the doubters but sales of key players and financial issues meant that we could not compete in the long run and our horrendous second half of the season meant that we got relegated on the final day of the season. We did very well initially but we just ran out of ideas in the end and I am devastated that we have been relegated from the division. 17 months of being at this football club and I have ended on a low. It is heartbreaking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
