Mpote under scrutiny

Despite the lack of results, the Botswana Football Association (BFA) CEO, Mfolo Mfolo said there are no scheduled talks with Mpote. It is relatively early days in Mpote’s reign but the former Orapa United coach could be feeling the pressure. “Obviously, we cannot be happy when the team is not performing well,” Mfolo briefly said when asked if they were content with the situation.

However, he said there was no pending meeting with the coach over the results. "I am not aware of those possible talks. He is still our senior national team head coach," Mfolo said. Mpote is almost a year in charge of the Zebras after initially holding fort on an interim basis. The BFA appointed Mpote substantive coach on a three-year deal in November.
