Amazulu slam player’s agent ahead of move to Kaizer Chiefs

AmaZulu chairman Sandile Zungu has lashed out at Sibusiso Mabiliso’s agents for misleading the club in their efforts to secure him a move to Kaizer Chiefs.

Zungu says the agents told him that there were offers for the left back to move abroad before the player began talks with Kaizer Chiefs.

“The agent of Mabiliso told us he wants to sell him overseas and that he won’t want to shop him around locally,” Zungu said according to Soccer Laduma.

“So, I am surprised to hear that (he could join Chiefs). I am telling you what the agent said. These agents operate in their own world. Maybe talk to him because he gave us an absolute assurance as AmaZulu that he will only leave the club when he goes overseas. In as much as they are free to do whatever they want with the player, I won’t play his game or sweep his rubbish. So, he must talk for himself. I talk for my players, I don’t talk for agents.”

Tembo concerned that Mbule to Kaizer Chiefs talk could derail progress

SuperSport United coach Kaitano Tembo has expressed concern over links between Sipho Mbule and Kaizer Chiefs.

Mbule is a promising young player with a big future and Tembo knows that the links are an indication of that promise but he fears they may prove a distraction.

“It has always been the case with our team whereby most of our players are always targeted in terms of other teams wanting them,” Tembo told the Citizen.

“It also shows the quality that we have if most of the clubs are always looking to get players from, at the same time it is also difficult for the young players because that can also destabilize them and derail their progress because if you hear about big teams being mentioned alongside your name, it might also destruct him on the primary thing which is playing football.

“As a club we have to try and make sure that they are level headed and they keep their feet on the ground because in this industry you are always as good as your last game,” he added.

“One minute people want you because you are playing well and the moment you are no longer performing they shift focus and go somewhere else. Consistency is very key, that is what I have been preaching to my youngsters.”
