AFC Leopards woes are far from coming to an end. Their coach Nikola Kavazović who was expected back in the country after a short leave to attend to his family issues has been confirmed as the Free State Stars coach.’
The coach was a linked with a move to the Premier Soccer League side but AFC Leopards were confident he would be back since he cited his father’s sickness on his exit.
“We really took our time in searching for the new coach, we made sure we choose the right man for the job, said Free State Stars General Manager Rantsi Mokoena.
“The coach brings vast experience to our league, having coached Botswana’s Township Rollers and recently for the very first time in their history, Rollers qualified for the Champions League.
“He is a strong believer of youth players and what I also liked about the coach is that when he was introduced to the players he knew their names.”
The coach has signed for two and a half years for Stars and will be assisted by David Vilakazi and Selaotse Mosala.
