Bafana Bafana left-back Tsepo Masilela, who is set to be released by his Israeli club Maccabi Haifa, will not struggle to find a new club when the new season opens, according to his business manager Mike Makaab.
Masilela, who has one year remaining on his contract, spent the last season on loan to Spanish La Liga side Getafe.
The 27-year-old injured his knee in South Africa's World Cup qualifier against Ethiopia last weekend, and Makaab says: "The most important thing now for Tsepo is to get his knee cleaned up and healed quickly, so he can have a good pre-season training.
"But I'm sure he won't struggle to find a new club somewhere in Europe. All things going to plan, I don't expect to see him playing in Israel next season."

Bobby Motsepeung! LOL.
He committed mistakes because of certain players who are not fit to be in the BB some of them just came to score fluke goals and since then they live in the shadows of that.
Anyway all the games i watched this guy playng in la liga i never saw him tackling nor overlapping. He is always hiding just like Mbazo.
Really now u r suffocating in ur lack of football brains. Masilela has been outstanding 4 SA bar knee injury.
I guess ur football analyses is beta than that of Mourinho en if u really watched him u will know wat I mean
If Gordon gets the job, Masilela will continue owning that left back even if he is injured or off-form because they are both managed by Mike Makaab.
The corruption continues, It was Rob Moore n Jazzman running the national team now it will be Makaab n Sukazi.
I never said he is not a good player or never performed for the national team. People saying Schillo never performs for the national team doesn't mean they say he is not a good player. What i am saying is our players abroad never apply themselves, they always shy from taking full responsibility. It is like they are forced to play there. They can't do like the likes abo Drogba, trying things. It is not like Drogba is always perfect on the field but people are always talking about him coz he is applying himself.
There are players like Evra, A Cole, Clichy, Macello and other leftbacks which you will always see them in the field. They make good tackles, run with or without the ball in the touchline, whip crosses and always get in the thick of things, but to be fair to Masilela he don't do that. I gave example of Mbazo who is sometimes played in the midfield if you ever bothered to watch his overseas games, but always hiding.
That game against Madrid, i watched it. It is not like Jose Mourinho was prising Tshepo for a good game but for soldiering on even though he was injured(if not faked). You know those Europeans, they enjoy our(blacks) athletism. It was like, "you see them monkeys, gorrillas,animals(blacks), they can play even if they are injured." I watched the game but also to be fair Tshepo didn't have a good game.
The problem is you like praising mediocracy, that is why our national team is failing. You judge a player by the league he is playing on not by how he is playing.
Who on earth are you kid?
heheheheheheheheh ... lollest ... you made my day .... Bobby Motsepeung! LOL.
KHOSI4LIFE ...!!!!
You are then a master of contradiction if u go thru ur 1st post and the latter. Am glad u recognise he is a gud player. Its tym we recognise when a player has a gud patch it doesn't mean he is a cow. A gud example is the spanish and chelea's Torres.
We lost so many players in mzansi thru critism which was unnecesary. The likes of Teko cud have done with morale boosting instead of being booed an called names. I bet when Punch en Sangweni snr are not perfoming well at some stage. Unfortunately that's the nature of SA football.
