Wayne Arendse Hasn’t Retired! Here He Explains Why He Hasn’t Found A Team

Former Mamelodi Sundowns defender Wayne Arendse says he’s still looking to get back to the field of play despite having been off the screens for almost two years. According to Soccer Laduma Arendse has been a coach at Highlands Park since he left Masandawana back in 2020.

It also looks like Arendse was inspired by what happened to Zlatan Ibrahimovic who was recently handed a new contract by his club AC Milan. Arendse (37) is still three years away from reaching 40 which is not too bad.

“I am still looking to be back on the field. But nothing concrete at the moment, in terms of a club. As you can see what’s happening in the football industry, people are thinning out their teams, especially the more experienced lads. So yeah, that’s where I am at. I am still looking around. If it does not work out, I will have to look at the next step in my career,” said Arendse as per Soccer Laduma.

“I don’t know, because with a youngster, you can probably get away with giving them R1, you know what I am saying? Clubs are also just looking to survive (financially). Just this morning I heard AC Milan gave Zlatan another one-year contract.

“But it’s probably just here in the PSL, but you don’t always know what the reason is because there’s different aspects that senior players can bring to the club, in terms of guidance for the youngsters and bringing new ideas to the club. But everybody has their own philosophy and I understand that. Clubs need to rebuild and bring in younger players because, after all, it is a business. If you sign a 22-year-old, you can sell him when he is 24 and make money.”
