Mogomotsi Mpote is adamant that Nico United will survive relegation despite a losing debut as the club's new head coach. Mpote was appointed early last week and his first assignment was against his former employers, Township Rollers, on Friday evening at the National Stadium.

Rollers beat Nico 2-0 courtesy of a Mbatshi Elias’ first half brace. The loss has dropped Majambolo to the root of the log standings with just 10 points from 14 games played.

The team remains with a single win, lost six times and have played to a draw on seven occasions. Mpote told journalists after the game that he is motivated by the slim margins in the bottom half of the table and his side could still survive relegation with more than half of the league games to be played. “I am not scared of where Nico is currently placed on the log, that is why I agreed to come and help the team.
