While there is talk of Swallows hiring another coach for next season, Dylan Kerr says he has been assured of his position at the club for the upcoming season.
Kerr helped Swallows survive relegation through the recently completed promotion/relegation playoffs.
It was the fourth club that the Maltese-born mentor has helped survive the chop since he arrived in the country. The other clubs are Black Leopards, Baroka and Marumo Gallants.
Speaking to FARPost during the ABC Motsepe League national playoffs, the 55-year-old insists he wants to help the club challenge for titles and not fight for survival.
“The Chairman spoke to me last week and said ‘look, forget about all the rumours about Gavin Hunt, Ernst Middendorp and Cavin Johnson (coming to Swallows). You are going to be the coach here next season’,” he said.
“I love it at Swallows. I mean it’s a good set-up. He’s got ambitions, he has dreams but those ambitions and dreams we all have to be honest and not make the mistakes that we have been making these past six months when I joined the club.
“Let’s go forward and learn from our mistakes. Every football club has its flaws, every football club does things that you are not supposed to do. But that’s going to stay in-house; it’s not something for the public,” continued Kerr.
“But we all make mistakes when it comes to team selections, substitutions, we get them right sometimes get them wrong. Picking the winning team so we learn from it and we grow from it.”
