Acid test for coach Erol Akbay

 

After a break of two weeks, the affiliates of the GladAfrica Championship League will be back in action this weekend. The new head coach of Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila (TTM), Mr Erol Akbay, will be put to the test when his side locks horns with Steenberg United at the Athlone Stadium in Cape Town tomorrow afternoon.

The Dutchman took over as the team’s new mentor last week. This after TTM parted ways Mr Momcilo Medic, the Serbian national whose contract with Vhadau Vha Damani was terminated last month.

According to the team’s assistant coach, Mr Lucky Nelukau, all their players were available for selection for the game.

Steenberg must win the match to move out of the relegation zone. On the other hand, TTM must also collect the maximum points to move closer to the top of the log. The Tshakhuma side are currently in the fifth position on the log with 9 points, six behind the pace setters, JDR Stars. TTM have a match in hand.

TTM’s goal poachers, Mboniseni Mbandlwa, Nhlanhla Mgaga, Wonderboy Makhubu and Phumelele Bhengu, are expected to keep the United defenders running for cover throughout the game.

Several other matches will also take place tomorrow.  Swallows FC will host Ajax Cape Town, while Free State Stars and Cape Umoya United will meet in Bethlehem. The other fixtures are University of Pretoria vs Mbombela United, Royal Eagles vs Uthongathi FC, TS Sporting vs Jomo Cosmos, Richards Bay FC vs Real Kings and TS Galaxy vs JDR Stars.
