Kavazovic, who returned to the dug-out of Sua since his stint last year with the club, was roped back following the sudden departure of Mandla Mpofu. The Serbian tactician's return to the mining town club was not so rosy as he lost by a heavy score against Moya goleele. In his post match interview following the defeat, the gaffer stated that it was unfortunate for him to lose by such scores for the first time in his career despite coming up against Africa's power houses in Ahl Ahly and Mamelodi Sundowns. "I feel very strange; this is the biggest defeat in my career. I did not lose by four goals margin neither to Sundowns or to Al Ahly, neither to Esperance, neither to Yanga.

Kavazovic, who is on a two-year contract, shared that despite the thrashing, he is not livid with his players but wants more from his camp going into their next game as they cannot lose by that margin. "I am not frustrated at all because we were not so bad as the results show. GU was a better team. They deserve to win but 4-0 is too much. Their goals came from individual brilliance but we will solve this," he said. Additionally he lamented that supporters should give him the benefit of the doubt as he is the right man for the job despite starting off with a loss. "I can return from this defeat because if I don't think I can, I will go home but I am here to stay and I will bring results to this club. It's only the support I am looking for," Kavazovic said.

The PPRA’s warning is unequivocal and must be...
