Babina Noko's long-serving coach MacDonald Makhubedu finished the season in charge of the team and oversaw two matches, against AmaZulu and Chippa United respectively, picking up three points out of six on the team's way to finish 4th on the log.
From Kaitano Tembo, Brandon Truter and Lehlohonolo Seema, Makhubedu has worked with all those coaches and has been commended for his input in the technical team and contribution to the club since his arrival in 2021.
It was under Makhubedu that Sekhukhune got their promotion to the top flight in the 2020/21 season, having joined the club halfway through the campaign as a replacement for Johnny Ferreira.
While talks have been held with representatives of some of the potential candidates for the Sekhukhune role, Makhubedu has also been considered, according to sources.
