Kaizer Chiefs legend suffers heavy loss against Orlando Pirates

Kaizer Chiefs legend Reneilwe Letsholonyane had another weekend to forget in his coaching career.

Yeye’, currently the AmaZulu FC DStv Diski Challenge side’s head coach, suffered another heavy loss this weekend, this time at the hands of Orlando Pirates.

The former Amakhosi midfield maestro was promoted from being an academy coach to AmaZulu’s reserve coach at the beginning of the season.

But things haven’t exactly gone according to plan for the former Bafana Bafana midfielder. Yeye’s side has suffered a number of heavy defeats so far this season and sits in 14th position on the log after eight matches.

In other news, Chiefs interim head coach Cavin Johnson has explained the reason behind Pule Mmodi’s absence in his side’s 2-1 loss against Golden Arrows.

Many Amakhosi fans were hoping to see Mmodi in action against his former side, Arrows; however, the speedy winger was nowhere to be seen in Johnson’s match-day squad.

Chiefs lacked bite in attack, and Mmodi would’ve undoubtedly provided them with some much-needed pace in attack; however, here’s why Johnson opted against playing him.

According to Johnson, Mmodi was tactically sacrificed to ‘see something else’ from his side.

Chiefs coach explains Mmodi absence

“Players like Ashley Du Preez, Edmilson Dove, and Pule Mmodi were not out because they were unavailable. It’s the change we tried so that we can see something else.” the Amakhosi coach said, as quoted by FarPost.

“We tried to shuffle a little bit. There were some changes. I’m not saying there weren’t changes. I thought the team played better. I thought they put a good shift, but they go home sad because they know in their hearts that they should have gotten a second goal.”
