Amakhosi manager says he knew what the expectations were when he took up the job in December
It took a bit for him to admit it‚ but Kaizer Chiefs coach Ernst Middendorp is aware that a victory in this season’s Nedbank Cup can make life “a little bit easier” for him at Naturena.For Amakhosi‚ negotiating this semifinal would be followed by a final against either new First Division team TS Galaxy or Lamontville Golden Arrows. This is the biggest team in the country’s last chance at preventing an already unprecedented third season without a trophy becoming a fourth.
But getting the often crotchety coach to admit he knows it is not always so easy. Just like life is not always easy. “No, I don’t think so‚” Middendorp said‚ sucking air. “And it’s nothing new. I jumped in here in December. “I can agree — it makes life a little bit easier‚ for each and everybody. Because building confidence is part of the story if you want to be successful.”
