Tembo on why SuperSport United opted to exercise one-year option on defender Khumalo

SuperSport United coach Kaitano Tembo says defender Bongani Khumalo’s healthy lifestyle and true professionalism is what led the club to extend the veteran’s contract.

The 2019/20 MTN8 winning manager says the departure of skipper Dean Furman also pushed the club to retain the former Bafana Bafana defender as they looked to maintain the spine of the side.

Matsatsantsa exercised a one-year option on the 33-year-old’s deal and his agent Glyn Binkin confirmed the news to Goal on Friday. Tembo hopes the former Tottenham Hotspur defender will continue to guide his youngsters.
