Baroka chair Khurishi Mphahlele has praised interim head coach Vincent Kobola for the job he has done so far and has confidence that he will save the club from being relegated.
Kobola inherited Baroka from Kgoloko Thobejane, with the team bottom of the table with little hope of surviving with four games left in the season. Kobola has overseen three games, picking up two wins and one draw. They have one game left.
Given how Kobola has performed, Mphahlele rues the fact they took a long time to decide to appoint him. Their final game of the DStv Premiership season is against Maritzburg United tomorrow at the Harry Gwala Stadium at 3pm. Baroka need a win or a draw to have a chance of beating the drop, and Mphahlele is confident the team will do well and retain their status.
Kobola, who will be returning to the Harry Gwala Stadium, is confident of a result. At the back of his mind is also the task of saving the jobs of those who are part of the day-to-day running of the club. “It's a big one, it's D-Day,” said Kobola.
