TS Galaxy Manager, Sead Ramovic, Steps Down During Continuous Losing Spree
Rethinking TS Galaxy's Direction
The rollercoaster journey of TS Galaxy takes another unexpected turn as Sead Ramovic calls time on his tenure, following a draw against Stellenbosch FC. With a daunting position at the bottom of the table, the departure of Ramovic, who had led the Rockets through three seasons of significant progress, seems particularly poignant.
The Present Scenario
In the initial phase of the 2024/25 season, TS Galaxy finds itself struggling to gain momentum. Languishing in 16th place, they've managed a mere two points from a possible 18, without a single win in six games. As they grapple with three goals scored against eight conceded, the specter of relegation looms large. However, it's worth noting that expected points data suggests that their performances are not entirely indicative of typical relegation form[4].
The Legacy of Ramovic
Taking charge in October 2021, Ramovic inherited the role from Owen da Gama and quickly instilled a resilient fighting spirit in the team. In his inaugural season, he guided TS Galaxy to a critical 30-point safety mark. By the end of his second season, they had narrowly missed qualifying for the MTN 8, finishing with a commendable 35 points. And last season, Ramovic steered TS Galaxy to their highest-ever PSL position of 6th[3]. His departure signifies the end of three years of steady progress, marred only by a challenging start to the current campaign.
The Toughest Journey Yet
A highlighted frustration for Ramovic was the demanding fixture schedule, which saw five of the Rockets' first six matches away from home. Their only home game resulted in a disappointing 2-0 loss to league leaders Orlando Pirates.
In terms of performance, TS Galaxy's attack has been disappointing. Despite taking the 11th-most shots in the league, their shooting accuracy ranks last, alongside SuperSport United and Richards Bay[1]. With a conversion rate of just 4%, they've registered only 3.84 expected goals (xG) across six games, closely matching their three actual goals scored.
A Promising Future?
Though their points total paints a grim picture, closer examination of the underlying metrics hints at a chance to turn the season around with strategic adjustments. Tightening up defensively and adding some much-needed attacking flair could be the key to escaping relegation danger[2]. With Ramovic citing ongoing disruptions due to player departures[3] as a factor in his decision, whoever takes over-whether permanently or temporarily-will need to make do with the existing resources and steer the club through these challenging times.

Inextricably linked to the team's fortunes, their latest match against Chippa United saw TS Galaxy put up a valiant performance. Registering an impressive xG of 1.19, they managed to hold Chippa to a 1-1 draw, a result that highlighted the potential for improvements in attack[4].
Stay Tuned for Updates
As the search continues for a new manager, the future for TS Galaxy remains uncertain. However, fans can take solace in the fact that if history serves as any indication, their club is resilient and committed to success in the world of South African football[3].
