The South African has been performing well abroad which has seen him attract teams from France and Turkey.
South Africa international Siyabonga Ngezana has been ticking the right boxes since leaving Kaizer Chiefs for FCSB.
The defender did not have a good start, but he eventually settled and became one of the key players for the Romanian outfit. He played a crucial role in helping his team win the league for the first time in nine years.
Ngezana eventually won Hugo Broos' trust which saw him being involved in the Bafana Bafana squad that played the most recent 2026 Fifa World Cup qualifiers against Nigeria and Zimbabwe respectively.
His consistency has invited several top teams that are willing to seal his services for the 2024/25 season.
Mahlangu lauds Ngezana – ‘If you don't perform, FCSB owner will fire you!'
Former South Africa international May Mahlangu is happy with what the ex-Chiefs defender has managed to achieve and why he is still playing for ‘crazy owner' Gigi Becali.
Mahlangu further insisted FCSB are like Mamelodi Sundowns meaning they can get any player they want as long as they are interested.
“I played in Romania for three years. The team he is playing for there, it's like he is playing for Sundowns. It's a team that has a big budget,” he told SNL24
“They buy players that they want and they compete to play in the Europa League or Champions League. I was playing for Bucharest and they are like your Orlando Pirates. So, they are rivals. I know that the owner of the team he plays for is one of the craziest guys. If you don't perform, then he can fire you.
“So, for him to adapt in those conditions and where they put so much money, it's great. For him to win the league is great and people must ask why he was being criticised in South Africa but he is now doing well there. Now people will watch him playing in the Europa League if they don't qualify for the group stages [of the Champions League].
“For him, it's a different level and different culture. Sometimes as a player, you need to go out there and challenge yourself outside, not to stay in your comfort zone. He can move to a bigger league, like Italy, France and Portugal. It depends on what he wants as a player.”
Ngezana helped FCSB get past Virtus in the first preliminary round of the Uefa Champions League and he is expected to be part of the team to face Unirea Slobozia in the next hurdle.
