"If you check strikers in Europe, by eight games, they are already on 11 or 12," said the 37-year-old Khune."Striker coaches should be focused on the specific needs of attacking players, helping them work on their finishing after every training session," he said. "As goalkeepers, we are like that. After a session, if you feel like something missing, you always ask your goalkeeper coach to stay behind and work on an area of improvement. So what's stopping strikers from staying behind and doing finishing so that they can improve?"
Khune is currently a free agent after his contract at Chiefs expired at the end of last season. The former club captain has been working as a pundit on SABC, but has maintained he still feels he can contribute on the field.Coach Mabuthi Khenyeza 'has been absent from work for a week', says Golden Arrows amid resignation reports and possible Mngqithi reunion
