In his last post-match interview the Burundian co-coach spoke about the intense scrutiny and high expectations he faced during his tenure at Naturena and acknowledged that fans would likely call for him and Khalil Ben Youssef to leave the club. Their departure was confirmed just two days later.
The former Amakhosi midfielder has thrown his support behind the club's decision to overhaul their technical team once again following the exits of the co-coaches who led the Glamour Boys to a third-place league finish and secured CAF Confederation Cup qualification.
The Bucs star should be celebrating a stellar season with the Sea Robbers, but a looming financial dispute behind the scenes has cast a shadow over his move. Despite his heroics on the pitch, a former club has sensationally claimed that they are still waiting for their share of the transfer fee paid by the Soweto giants.
Former international Benson Mhlongo has sent a clear message to South Africa coach regarding the national team selection for the upcoming global showpiece. As the deadline for the final roster approaches, the retired player believes the tactician must remain open to rewarding late surges in form.
The Naturena hierarchy have already made their decision regarding the futures of their technical bench. Despite leading the Soweto giants to their best league finish in six seasons, the club management has opted for a fresh direction as their co-coaches contracts approach their expiration date.
