As one might say South African top elite league is not child’s play as we saw best coaches in this country fails to win the most important trophy.
Even to some best players in Africa have failed to leave to the expectation due to the tough challenges this league brings.
Eric Tinkler who is currently head coach of Limpopo’s side have revealed his desire and plans with his club.
Over the weekend Tinkler managed to secure all three points against his former side Cape Town City at Cape Town Stadium.
He said “CAF qualification for me as a coach has always been a target, it was a target while I was at City and while I was at Maritzburg United [Now Durban City] because that’s the type of coach I am.
“I want to play in the CAF competitions because that’s where you play against the best and expose yourself not only as players but as coaches.
“So, that’s always been a target and tonight [Sunday] was no different; we saw an opportunity after the results yesterday [Saturday].
“I said to the players that people are giving it to you and you have to grab it and they responded.
“That’s why we are sitting there, but there is still a long road ahead; a lot of games to play and it’s tight where we are.”
However Tinkler encouraged his troops to always stay focused as the league is at crucial stage of the season.
He said “One defeat, you find yourself back at five, so let’s not celebrate too soon, one step at a time.
“We want to get to the 40-point mark as soon as possible to start creating gaps between us and the rest.
“What makes me happy is that the guys who started are not regulars and the effort that they put in means we have squad depth.”
