Mixed Feelings Over Tshosane

 In the taxis, corridors and malls, the football community is divided about the abilities of the former BDF XI coach. The debate has been ignited by the Zebras' uninspiring performance at the COSAFA Senior Challenge, which ended in Zimbabwe yesterday.

The Zebras lost 1-0 to hosts Zimbabwe in the quarterfinal but there is talk that the game could have been won easily if the technical team did not make blunders. Last Friday, the Botswana Football Association (BFA) top brass was supposed to meet with the fate of the national team coach high on the agenda. Those who argue that Tshosane has failed the Zebras believe that there is need to employ an experienced man to lead the team. On the other hand, some commentators say he is not to blame as the BFA is not doing enough to take Botswana football to greater heights. Others say the fact that the Zebras went to Zimbabwe without an assistant coach shows that the BFA do not have the interests of the nation at heart.
