Former Bafana Bafana player Katlego "Killer" Mphela's life has taken an unexpected turn since he was last seen on the field with his impressive moves.
Katlego Mphela moves to car sales after retirement
The former Mamelodi Sundowns, who retired from professional football in 2017, now works for a car dealership as a salesman.
One source told ZiMoja that after hanging his boots, he had a backup plan disrupted by Covid 19 when he was hosting private soccer lessons. When he was contacted for a comment, he snubbed the publication, saying:
"I don't owe anyone any explanations about my life or my career," Killer said.
Old Mutual's John chats to Briefly News about how footballers can avoid retirement disappointments
John MAnyike, who is Old Mutual's resident financial advisor for I Blew It Second Chances, shared a tip for soccer stars who are still raking in big bucks:
"If you earn R100K a month, don't take it as it is because the normal retirement age for soccer players is 35 years old. So rather leave half of it and invest the other half, or start a side hustle to have something to fall back on for when you retire."
Netizens show love for Katlego Mphela on and off the field
Killer advertises his work on his Instagram account. In one post, he gave a shout-out to his mentor, and social media users pledged to support him:
