Jan Olde Riekerink is enjoying a rich vein of form at CapeTownCityFC since taking over the coaching reins in November, but he has credited that run to his players’ ability to use each other’s qualities to their optimum level. Mihlalibaleka | IOLsport
Olde Riekerink joined the Citizens late last year, with a lofty billing, taking over the reins from Benni McCarthy, who was sacked following an underwhelming start to his third season in charge.
However, in the last game before lockdown, Olde Riekerink inspired City back to winning ways. Since then, the Capetonian-based team hasn’t looked back as they are the only team to win their first two league matches since the restart, beating Chippa United and PSL champions Mamelodi Sundowns. “From the moment that I started I think that we switched on. We’ve had some good results of late and the players are a big unit,” the 57-year-old coach explained.
