Wednesday, February 12, 2025 | 70 Views |

After a promising start to the season, Nico United has hit a rough patch resulting in the management taking the drastic decision to axe head coach, Botshelo Pelokgosi.

Nico are winless in five matches, which has left them eighth on the FNB Premiership log with 21 points from 18 games. The straw that broke the camel's break was the weekend's 2-1 defeat to previously winless Chadibe FC. "The results are not forthcoming. We sat down and agreed to part ways with the coach. Patrick 'Disono' Molefe will be in charge until a new coach takes over. We have identified someone and we expect to make the appointment soon," Nico chairperson, Busani Segweni, told MmegiSport.

Molefe's first assignment is against bottom side, Uniao Flamengo Santos at the Sam Sono Stadium today.

It is a matter of public accountability. Every pula spent by government comes from taxpayers who expect public funds to be used wisely and responsibly, especially during economic hardships faced by many.The officers exercised their constitutional right to seek justice through...
