“Unfortunately for them, I don’t think they deserve to be where they are [on the log].” the Kaizer Chiefs coach told IOL.

“When you watch them play in Africa, they are not in the last eight by fluke, they have been doing very well. They started the season a bit slow and gradually their confidence grew.

“They’re playing with the big boys in Africa. That alone, if you can sustain that pressure of travelling in Africa and grinding results there, builds your confidence and mentally you become strong.”
