SuperSport United coach Gavin Hunt insists SuperSport United need to get back to challenging for the domestic league title.
Hunt is on his second stint at the club having left in 2013. Prior to his departure, the 58-year-old brought three League titles to the club as well as the Nedbank and Absa Cups.
The former Hellenic player also went on to achieve success while at now-defunct Bidvest Wits before they were sold to Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivh
GREATER AMBITIONS
Hunt says United need to be ambitious and get back to competing at continental competitions if possible.
“You get to a stage in life where you want that. It’s like a drug to me. Other people don’t like it, I like the drug and I want it to be tasted. I want to be challenged,” he told the media after their match against Royal AM.
“I mean, with Wits, we would have won the league again by now. There is no chance. We would have won the league again; we were coming back again.
“After we won it, we became third and we won the league because we had good quality players and obviously the legs got cut off because it got sold and everything.
“It’s like a butcher shop Like a meat market, selling players, it was terrible,” he said.
“That really broke my heart and I was the last one to go. I want SuperSport to get back there, it will take time but we need to get back there.
“To be challenging, to get back to Africa (CAF competitions) if we can. I want to get back there.”
United are currently third on the DStv Premiership log with 14 points from their opening nine matches, five points behind log leaders Mamelodi Sundowns.
