Stanley Matthews has been appointed as the new CEO of the Premier Soccer League (PSL).<\/p>\n

Matthews takes over from Zola Majavu, who quit in October due to \u201cfundamental differences\u201d.<\/p>\n

Majavu could not accept that the powers to appoint the COO, the CFO and Head of Legal rested with the executive committee of the League and not the CEO.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

PSL chairman Dr. Irvin Khoza says Matthews is well aware of his powers as CEO.<\/p>\n

Matthews, who was director of football at SuperSport United, will commence his duties on February 1, 2012.<\/p>\n

He has a wealth of experience in football having served in the PSL Executive Committee for the past five years.<\/p>\n

Khoza told reporters at a press conference, \u201cMr Matthews\u2019 record speaks for itself. He has been with SuperSport United for the past 12 years; he is one of the well rounded sport administrators in this country.<\/p>\n

“We all know how he successfully transformed SuperSport United \u2013 from a side that was languishing at the bottom of the League to champions. We know this was a collective effort, but Stanley Matthews was central to that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe decided to look inside the PSL because we believe we have people who have the talent and expertise to be successful in the job,” Khoza added.<\/p>\n

Matthews has expressed his delight at landing the job, for which Golden Arrows boss Mato Madlala, Ajax Cape Town director John Comitis, former PSL general manager Ace Ncobo and current PSL GM: Football Derek Blanckensee, were considered.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a day of many emotions for me. I\u2019m humbled, excited but most importantly I\u2019m appreciative to the chairman and the executive committee for giving me an opportunity to be the CEO of the most successful league in Africa,\u201d Matthews said.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
