IRATE: Butler is angry at his superiors at BFA

FRANCISTOWN: An irate Zebras coach, Peter Butler took a dig at his employers, the Botswana Football Association (BFA) as Mauritania took advantage of a lapse in concentration to stun the hosts 1-0 in the opening 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier on Saturday.

“We played fantastic football but what goes on outside is totally unacceptable. We are happy with the president Maclean Letshwiti, but there is a problem with people around him. We wonder if they are with us or not. I am fed up to the back teeth. They should stop sabotaging those who want to do good for the nation,” Butler poured out after the game.

Zebras showed their attacking hand from the opening minute reaching the Mauritania box on numerous occasions in the first 10 minutes.
