According to a Soccer Laduma source, the club has no intention of firing Seema, while further reports suggest that former City coach Tinkler could join the technical team.
The source said:
“Seema remains the head coach and there are no plans to replace him. All is well with the coach and his technical team, who are supported by management to continue improving the team. I am not aware of any coaching changes that are planned.”
Sekhukhune drew 1-1 against SuperSport in their last match, according to their Twitter(X) profile:
Sekhukhune has a history of firing coaches
If Sekhukhune decides to hire Tinkler, the former City coach will be the third new face in the dugout in two seasons after Seema made a swift return to replace Peter Hybala.
This season, Sekhukhune has won seven out of 16 PSL matches and is fifth in the standings, 17 points defending champions and log leaders Mamelodi Sundowns.
Babina Noko has also qualified for the last 16 of the Nedbank Cup while they failed to make the group stages of the CAF Confederation Cup after losing to Angolan side Lunda Sol.

Mzukisi Zuki is confused:
“The same Tinkler who was sacked by CTC because the team wasn't doing well?”
Roy J Davids backs Seema:
“Seema is a good coach.”
Baloyi Piet says made a suggestion:
“Sekhukhune management must please leave Seema alone.”
Noah Mashingaidze says Sekhukhune would be making a mistake:
“Look what he did at Capetown City? If they want that guy, then they are not serious.”

“They always undermining Seema at Sekhukhune, but he is doing a decent job. Even last time they fired him and hired that Hyballa guy.”
