Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila FC (TTM) are searching for a suitable candidate to replace the former head coach of the team, Mr Johnny Ferreira. The soft-spoken Ferreira resigned from the position with immediate effect three weeks ago.
According to the communications and marketing manager of the club, Mr Livhuwani Madzuhe, they are not in hurry to replace Mr Ferreira as the league is still in recess for the Fifa World Cup break.
Madzuhe said that the team would resume its normal training sessions on Tuesday, 13 December. An announcement about the appointment of the new head coach will be made before the team resumes with its normal training sessions.
Asked whether they were planning to settle on a local coach or opt for an expert from abroad, Madzuhe appealed to the supporters to extend their patience a bit as the announcement would be made in a matter of days.
Madzuhe said that they were not too concerned about the players' ability to adapt to a new mentors' coaching philosophy. He added that the fact that the current assistant coaches, Mr Lucky Nelukau and Ricardo Miriri, were still part of the technical team would make the job easy for the new head coach.
Madzuhe added that they were still confident of being promoted at the end of the season, despite all the odds. TTM had started the season on a high note and at one stage, Vhadau Vha Damani were shining on top of the log. Three consecutive losses, however, messed up their plans. The club's recent financial crisis did not assist matters either.
TTM have dropped to the ninth position on the log, following their poor results in the last five matches. They managed to deposit 16 points into their league account from 12 matches to date. The pace setters, Polokwane City, have 26 points.
