Last season only two teams in the Top Eight bracket were coached by locals and the two have been released and replaced by foreigners. Are they really that bad or we don’t have confidence in them? Rasta Kgengwenyane and Junior Lotlaamoreng have been replaced at BDF X1 and Police X1 respectively by Beston Chambeshi and Maxwell Moyo. These are foreign coaches who haven’t been very successful here but have been a flash in the pan here and there.
If Kgengwenyane and Lotlaamoreng can mix it up with the big boys, why not give them more of an opportunity? Or maybe they are bad coaches? Makes me wonder. So as the season starts the big names teams in the country will be led by foreigners and as is always the case, the debate on whether they add value as opposed us empowering our own coaches will continue.
