Arthur Zwane Believes This Was a Productive Season for Him! This follows his first full season as Amakhosi coach.
Arthur Zwane completed his first full season as a head coach in professional football. He believes that this season produced several learning curves for him.
10111 was appointed as club coach at the beginning of the season, replacing Stuart Baxter. He has led Kaizer Chiefs to a 5th place finish in the DSTV Premiership, missing out on continental football.
Amakhosi also failed to lift a trophy this season.
“If there’s one thing football has taught me it, is you have to have a big heart,” Zwane told the club website.
“I’m a hard worker and in football you develop a thick skin. I am not the first one that has been in this situation.
“I have seen coaches struggle in their first season and they come up differently the following season. For me, it has been a learning season in terms of being at the head and making decisions, with the help of the other technical team members, but I have always been supporting coaches who were here before, and now I have support from those around me.
“I would say it has been a productive season for me because with introspection I can see where I did okay and where I can do better and not repeat some things going forward.” He added.
The Glamour Boys have also struggled with injuries this season, adding further woes to Zwane.
“We haven’t been able to get consistency with our line-up. We wanted to build a team around a certain core of individuals, but we couldn’t because those experienced, quality players were not available.
“Now, the responsibility was on the shoulders of the youngsters to rise to the occasion and at some point, they were bound to crack because of the pressure,” he spoke.
