Motsepe Foundation Championship side Kruger United have announced the resignation of Head coach Vusi Mkhatshwa.
The newbies have had mixed results since their promotion from the SAFA ABC Motsepe League. They have only collected four points out of a possible 15 under Mkhatshwa.
The club recently signed former Mamelodi Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs midfielder George Maluleka. They also have Lehlohonolo Nonyane and Tshediso Patjie in their team.
VUSI MKHATSHWA FELT THE MOTSEPE FOUNDATION CHAMPIONSHIP SIDE LACKED EXPERIENCE IN THE LEAGUE
Speaking to FARPost last week, Mkhatshwa felt that the team still needed more experience on how they approach the games.
“We are still lacking a little bit of experience. Maybe playing away, you need a little bit of experience in terms of how you approach the games. But we have approached the games very well. It’s just that we were unlucky not to score,” he said.
