Marumo Gallants have officially appointed Lafitte Alexandre as their new head coach effective from 1 July 2025.
Alexandre is a 28-year-old mentor who was most recently on the books of Ivorian side Stade D’Abidjan.
State D’Abidjan are the same team that reached the group stage of the 2024-25 CAF Champions League.

Alexandre becomes the youngest coach in the PSL for the upcoming season, and he is Marumo Gallants’ youngest coach after Romain Folz who joined them at 32.
