Nico coach,players threaten to quit

SELEBI-PHIKWE: Despite a brilliant start to the be MOBILE Premier League season, all is not well at Nico United.

The coach, Paul Gundani, and a couple of players are threatening to quit amid reports that Nico chairman, Eitlhomilwe w is abusing his powers. In a no-holds barred interview, Gundani said this week that he is not happy with the way Raditshego is running the team. He said the situation is affecting the players and some have threatened to quit.

Gundani, who joined the club at the start of the season said players, particularly foreigners, Effat Sekwata and Samuel Phiri want to leave Majombolo because of mistreatment by the chairman. The coach said he had to convince the duo to stay after they complained of unfair treatment. "The chairman is treating Tendai Ndoro differently from the rest and others feel aggrieved about this preferential treatment. He is the chairman's blue-eyed boy.  Other players feel unrecognised but it has to be realised that Ndoro cannot function without his teammates," Gundani said. Ndoro was signed from Zimbabwe this season and is Nico's top striker with six goals. Gundani has warned that the youngster's career could be in jeopardy as other players now dislike him. He said there are reports that the Nico officials gave Ndoro money after games against TAFIC and Gaborone United. This has been viewed as preferential treatment by other players.
