Reportedly, the technical staff at FCSB has become more dissatisfied with fellow defender Miguel Silva Duarte, which has led to speculation that South African defender Siyabonga Ngezana may be given a chance to start for the club again during the approaching winter break.

Ngezana, a Bafana Bafana international, has been vying for a starting spot in the Romanian defence, but recent events may give him a better chance to shine.

A source with knowledge of the matter has stated that head coach Laurențiu Reghecampf and the coaching staff have been dissatisfied with Duarte's performances for a while. According to the source, their worries had been building for some time before his most recent appearance.

The article goes on to say that FCSB are planning to add a new defensive option to their roster this winter, possibly Ngezana or Mihai Popescu.

Such a turn of events could provide Ngezana a golden chance to prove himself once again worthy of a spot in the starting eleven. The former Kaizer Chiefs defender is hoping to capitalise on any changes made by the technical staff because he has shown in the past that he can compete at a European level.

As he seeks more regular playing time, his background with the Romanian club may also be an asset.

Ngezana may not have a guarantyd starting spot just because of this situation. The defensive positions may still be up for grabs, as Mihai Popescu is supposedly also being considered.

Therefore, the South African international's performance in the upcoming weeks will be crucial as FCSB evaluates their options in preparation for the winter transfer window.

Ngezana may get another chance to prove his worth to the Romanian club if the rumoured discontent with Duarte causes a shift in the defensive lineup.
