Folz – I Don’t Care What Happened to Qalinge & Ekstein Under Truter

AmaZulu coach Romain Folz has given his take on the recall of Hendrick Ekstein and Thabo Qalinge and said he is not bothered by what happened to them under the former coach Brandon Truter. The duo was frozen out by Usuthu at the beginning of the season after Truter instructed his management that he doesn’t need them this season and they are not part of his plans. However, Truter did not stay long with Usuthu and departed in October after a string of poor results, leading to the appointment of the youngest coach in the league – Folz. As the

Cape Town City coach Eric Tinkler said his team struggled to keep possession, and he was not happy with their performance in the 1-0 loss to SuperSport United on Tuesday. It was a game that left Tinkler disappointed, as Bradley Grobler scored in the final ten minutes to grab the victory for Gavin Hunt’s second-placed team. City conceded the goal when captain Thami Mkhize was receiving treatment on the sidelines and Tinkler said that having dealt with SuperSport well throughout the game, it was disappointing to concede at that point.

Kaizer Chiefs coach Arthur Zwane says he will not accept players that are not disciplined and if one of them is found not listening, he will be in trouble. Zwane was asked how he has coped with playing a game during the festive period, a time where players traditionally take a deserved break after the first half of the season.
