Another Premier Soccer League club has confirmed that they will not be parting ways with their current coach.
Baroka FC chairman Khurishi Mphahlele announced to KickOff on Thursday that they will extend coach Dan "Dance" Malesela's contract for another year.
Bakgaka finished in eighth place on the Motsepe Foundation Championship log table this season, 17 points behind the leaders, Durban City FC.

"Dan 'Dance' Malesela is coming back next season, and we are grateful that he is returning," Mphahlele tells KickOff.
"We believe that if we give Dan a full season and allow him to be involved with the team from the beginning, we can achieve something significant by the end of the 2025/2026 season.
"This season, he came in and found the team in a difficult position. He tried his best, but it was too late to turn things around. The previous year was similar.
"We feel we should give him the opportunity to make a bigger impact."
When asked about the challenges of losing his best players to Betway Premiership teams each season, Mphahlele emphasized that this should not be seen as a negative. He believes players need to progress in their careers.
"I'm not losing my best players; I am selling them. Selling your best players and losing them are two different things," he explained.
"Yes, replacing your best players is challenging, but it's possible. It's essential to make some money in the process.

"Letting go of our best players also motivates those who remain, showing them that they too can achieve success. It's a form of motivation in itself.
"Our strategy in the transfer market next season will combine our traditional approach of signing raw talent with the addition of available former Betway Premiership players who can make an impact.
"Currently, I have players who have experience in the Betway Premiership, such as Collins Makgaka, Lantshene Phalane, and Bonginkosi Makume, as well as Namibian Ananias Gebhardt, who will retire here."
