Despite winning just one of the seven games he’s overseen since his return to the club, charismatic Baroka coach Kgoloko Thobejane still enjoys full trust of club chairperson Khurishi Mphahlele.
Until beating Royal 1-0 in their last game of the previous year nearly three weeks ago, Baroka had gone 12 games without a win. Six of those dozens of matches were overseen by Thobejane after replacing Matsimela Thoka in November. Thoka was demoted to the Diski Challenge, where Thobejane had been serving.
“I wouldn’t have hired the coach if I didn’t trust him. I have confidence in coach Thobejane. He has all my support. I don’t do favours but I hire competent people… that’s why coach Thobejane is here,’’ said Mphahlele. Mphahlele also maintained there’s stability in the team even though the results haven’t been forthcoming, adding their focus is on the upcoming matches not the past.
