Butler shuts door on Nato, softens on Ngele :: Mmegi Online

Midfielder, Ofentse Nato’s Zebras days under coach Peter Butler appear to be over after the coach said he will not consider the Atletico Kolkata player for national team duty anytime soon. However, Butler sounded ready to extend the olive branch to Platinum Stars attacking midfielder, Mogakolodi ‘Tsotso’ Ngele.

Both players left the national team in a huff after a tiff with the technical team. Nato was reportedly drunk when he reported for camp recently while Ngele walked out after being reprimanded for poor performance by assistant coach, Pio Paul.
