Floyd Mogale Quits MaMkhize’s Mbabane Highlanders AM FC After Just Three Months

Former Mamelodi Sundowns youth coach and scout Floyd Mogale has reportedly resigned as head coach of Mbabane Highlanders AM FC, bringing his spell at the Eswatini club to an abrupt end just three months after his appointment.

Mogale’s departure comes as a surprise given the relatively short period he has spent in charge of the team. His appointment was expected to bring valuable coaching experience and player-development expertise to the club, particularly because of his previous involvement with South African football giants Mamelodi Sundowns.

Mbabane Highlanders AM FC are associated with South African businesswoman and Royal AM owner Shauwn ‘MaMkhize’ Mkhize, whose involvement in football has attracted considerable attention across the region.

Mogale arrived at the club with experience gained through his work in Sundowns’ youth structures and scouting department. His background in identifying and developing emerging talent made him an interesting appointment for a club looking to strengthen its football operations and compete more effectively.

However, his tenure has now reportedly ended before he could enjoy a lengthy opportunity to implement his ideas and establish long-term stability within the team.

The circumstances surrounding Mogale’s resignation, including the reasons behind his decision to step down, have not been independently confirmed in the information available. It therefore remains unclear whether the departure was influenced by football-related matters, personal considerations or differences over the club’s direction.

His exit also raises questions about the club’s immediate plans for the technical team. Finding a suitable replacement will be important if Mbabane Highlanders AM FC are to maintain continuity and avoid unnecessary disruption to their preparations and competitive ambitions.

For Mogale, the development represents another turning point in a coaching career shaped by experience in player development and talent identification. His work at Sundowns placed him within one of South Africa’s most recognised football environments, where youth development and recruitment have played important roles in the club’s broader strategy.

His next move will be watched with interest, particularly if he returns to South African football or pursues another opportunity elsewhere in the region.

For now, the reported resignation leaves Mbabane Highlanders AM FC facing questions about their coaching plans and the direction of the project under Mkhize’s ownership.

With only three months separating Mogale’s appointment from his reported departure, attention will turn to the club’s next decision and whether a new coach can provide the stability needed to move the team forward.
