Newly appointed Sekhukhune United head coach Kaitano Tembo has spoken for the first time since his unveiling, revealing his target for the 2022/23 season.
The former SuperSport United coach was appointed on Wednesday, with former head coach Macdonald Makhubedu dropping down to an assistant role alongside Thabo Senong.
“Look, I think first of all, I’d like to thank the chairman, the CEO, for affording me this opportunity to be part of Babina Noko,” Tembo told the club’s media department
“I feel like I’m at a place where there is a lot of ambitions to do better. It is a club which is very young, and I want to be part of it, and I want to be part of the growth of the club.
“And I think that’s really encouraging for me, and that is one thing that I’ve really thought about, to come here and make a huge difference in the team.”
Tembo also says he has been impressed by the work ethic at the club and he is confident they can improve on their eleventh place position from this past season.
“Well, I think we want to do better than the previous season,” Tembo added.
“The club has really done well, coming from the NFD, winning promotion as well as finishing eleventh in the past season. So we want to do better than that and try and break into the top eight. I think that’s the huge objective.
“And I think with what we have, with ambitions, with the attitude that I’ve seen, in terms of the work ethic with the staff, I feel like we’ve got everything to fight for to get us into the top eight. And that will be our challenge coming into the new season.”
