With the belief that black coaches are inferior still prevailing, a Kaizer Chiefs technical member has shared words of wisdom with Arthur Zwane, who has been thrust into the hot seat.
The message to Zwane, who has been appointed Chiefs coach on a three-year deal, is to ignore the naysayers as he is a capable coach and can lead Amakhosi back to the promised land.
“It is pressure and negativity when you get appointed; they [naysayers] will always be saying you are not the right person for the job, but at the end of the day,” Chiefs Head of Technical and Youth Development Academy Molefi Ntseki told the media at FNB Stadium.
“I think it is the quality, the personality, the ability we have in coach Arthur that will drive the plan and objective of the club.”
Ntseki, who coached Bafana Bafana, believes Zwane can be the epitome of black excellence in South Africa’s topflight and join the likes of Manqoba Mngqithi, Rulani Mokwena, and Pitso Mosimane in winning major trophies.
“So in us looking at ourselves being black, I think we should try to avoid looking at ourselves as being inferior,” added Ntseki in his message to Zwane.
“We should be more proud of ourselves; you are in a position as a head coach at Kaizer Chiefs, your predecessors have been there before, and I think it’s your time now to believe in yourself, in your ability, your management style.
“And the type of players you will be bringing because coaching is not just only technical, it is also about management, managing yourself, being in a pressured zone like this one of being a head coach, and I think he is up for the task, he is a very level headed person.”
