As Mamelodi Sundowns confirmed the departure of Rivaldo Coetzee over the weekend, just where the midfielder may end up remains to be seen.
Coetzee spent over eight years with the club, after joining in 2017.
At 28 though, there is still time for Coetzee to produce a number of good years for another club.
Coetzee’s agent Mike Makaab revealed that the player is currently in the final stages of recovery from injury and there were no concrete offers just yet.
Exploring Future Opportunities for Player as He Completes Rehab
“There’s nothing at the moment. We are looking at opportunities for him. He is in the last little bit of his rehab, so we will take our time and wait patiently for the right opportunity for him,” Makaab told Soccer Laduma.
Sundowns are coming off an impressive showing at the Club World Cup.
Coming into the premier club football competition in the world, the Betway Premiership champions were not expected to trouble some of the heavy hitters in the group. Instead, Sundowns beat Ulsan HD in their first outing, competed strongly with Dortmund before going down 4-3, and finally drew with Fluminense which saw them miss out on the knockout stages.
There’s no disputing that Sundowns punched above their weight, but it was also a good indicator of just how good they really are – if their eighth successive league title in a row this season did not do the trick. After their encounter with Fluminense drew to a close, the entire Sundowns squad was seen taking part in a uniquely South African dance.
It was clearly celebrating how far they had come in just their second-ever appearance at the tournament. A number of Sundowns fans could also be seen in the stands at Hard Rock Stadium, in Florida, USA.
