The Limpopo side has enjoyed four wins from their last five matches and is currently three points away from the top-eight and five away from the relegation zone.

After joining the club, Da Gama has helped them climb out of the relegation following a good set of results while SuperSport United and Royal AM occupy the danger spots.

According to iDiski Times, Da Gama said the Carling Cup champions are only focused on staying in the PSL and are approaching every game as their last.

Da Gama said:

“We just want to get out of the relegation zone, you know, two wins for a team at the bottom or one win and a draw, and we’re back there. I think we just take it one game at a time, for us, that is the only thing we can do now, one game at a time. Fight for our lives for that one game, and then we will look at the next one. We’re not looking ahead to anything else.”

Magesi are on the right track

Despite winning the Carling Cup and gaining promotion to the PSL, Magesi management parted ways with coach Clinton Larsen, opening the door for Da Gama’s appointment.

The side has thrived in recent matches, but Da Gama remains cautious with matches against Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates on the horizon.

With six matches left, Magesi is in a good position to stay in the PSL as they currently sit 11th on the log ahead of sides such as Richards Bay, Cape Town City and Marumo Gallants.
