“The Bucks Buccaneers are pleased to announce the extension of head coach Ronnie Kanalelo’s contract for an additional two years. Since taking over the reins midway through last season, Kanalelo has demonstrated exceptional leadership and strategic insight, steering the team away from relegation danger and guiding them to a respectable 10th-place finish,” the club said.
At the time of his appointment, the Buccaneers were in 14th place with only two wins, six losses, and seven draws from 15 matches. Under Kanalelo’s guidance, the team finished 10th, avoiding relegation and securing their place in the Premier League..
