Kaizer Chiefs head coach Arthur Zwane has responded to criticism of his coaching following the team’s 1-0 loss to Mamelodi Sundowns over the weekend. The Amakhosi legend took the question to his stride and said that it was not about him as a coach, but rather about the bigger picture of the team.
“Well, as a club right now it’s not a case of I’m the right man or I’m not the right man. It’s a case of what is that we want to achieve as a club going forward,” Zwane said in a post-match press conference.
The coach went on to say that he would not be worried if the team was not creating chances, as they had clear opportunities to score against Sundowns but luck was not on their side.
“If we were playing badly then I would say, ja, maybe I’m finding it difficult but I’ve seen a lot of positives. The second half we just tweaked things a little bit, then we were on top of Sundowns,” he said.
“So would you still say it’s the coach? I don’t think so. Sometimes you need luck, Sundowns they created their own luck and they scored a goal.”
Zwane concluded by saying that he believes the team is still building and it is not just about him as a coach.
