“Everyone at the club including the hierarchy supports the coach in what he and his entire technical staff are doing,” Motaung Jnr said.

“We also support all the players, which is very important. We are now using this Fifa break to buckle down to tighten on things that are important.

“So, I think the technical staff are using this break to hone all the aspects that they feel need to be rectified because we are looking forward to that proper cohesion.”
