“It’s easy for us to talk from the outside because we don’t know what’s happening inside. Yes, Arthur Zwane is still there but Chiefs are like a new team,” said Ertugral.
“Ntseki is the head coach now and there are new players. Ntseki needs time to come up with ways on how he wants the team to play. Let him be given time.
“It was painful for me to hear that the supporters were chanting he must go in the past few games. People should understand that pressure is not only on players but on coaches as well at big clubs,” added Ertugral.
