Swallows FC assistant coach Simo Dladla during the DStv Premiership match against Cape Town City at Dobsonville Stadium on September 24 2021.Swallows FC assistant coach Simo Dladla has said the decision that he would take charge of the team for a period came after a “lengthy meeting” between head coach Brandon Truter and the club's management.
Dladla, who took charge of Swallows' 0-0 Premiership draw against City at Dobsonville on Friday, was asked how the uncertainty surrounding the technical team has affected Swallows' squad, and if the situation has at least been fully explained to the players. “What actually happened was that coach Brandon had a lengthy meeting with the club's management, and after that meeting I was called in to be told of the decision that both parties had reached to say that I would take control of the two games. And that was taken across to everyone,” Dladla said in Tuesday's pre-match press conference for the second leg against City.
“Of course you would expect that people were shocked, and it would take time to sink in. It was a difficult task, and still is, to get everyone on board in terms of the way forward. “But in the past few training sessions we have been looking at the players who really want to play and make a difference, who realise that we have a problem, [which is that] we are not winning games. And everyone is trying to fit in and get the team into the right direction.”
