Former Kaizer Chiefs defender Siyabonga Ngezana is still uncertain about his future at FCSB despite his club battling for UEFA Champions League qualification.
The 26-year-old defender could be one of the few South Africans to play in the CL. Since leaving Chiefs, Ngezana has impressed overseas winning the league the Romanian SuperLiga in his first season. If FCSB can get through the UEFA Champions League playoffs, the former Chiefs man might rub shoulders with the best players next season.
Speaking to FARPost, Ngezana said he was looking forward to playing in the playoff rounds.
“Obviously, we still need to play for the playoff rounds, which is not easy, and it’s not easy to always get into the Champions League qualifiers,” he said.
“So, we need to play to qualify to be there. I think we still have to play about four, if not six games, if I’m not mistaken, because I have never participated in the playoffs before, which will be home and away.
“We will see how things unfold because even myself, I’m not certain about my future because anything can happen at any time. But if I’ll still be with the team, it will be nice to play in the Champions League.”
The UEFA Champions League dream is a few games away for the former Kaizer Chiefs defender. Even though his side qualifies for the elite competition, he might not be with the team next season. A few teams have reportedly made an offer for the Bafana Bafana defender which the Romanian giants have turned down.
Ngezana doesn’t come cheap, says FCSB
FCSB have put a hefty price tag on their valuable South African defender. Last year in September, reports emerged that the Ligue 1 outfit FC Lorient was keen to sign ex-Kaizer Chiefs star Ngezana for €5 million (R104 million). Still, FCSB rejected the offer, insisting on selling Ngezana for no less than R145 million.
If the ex-Chiefs defender was to leave, his dream to UEFA Champions League might not materialise. As things stand, FCSB leads the Championship playoff table
