Liphakoe indecisive about Ntšonyane’s future
In an interview with Metro, Liphakoe FC publicist, Tau Sebatli said the club management is yet to decide on the future of the mentor. “The coach’s contract expired in June and the club management is yet to decide on whether or not they work with him going forward,” he said.
Ntšonyane joined the club before the second round of the 2019/2020 football season began and penned a six-month deal. Sebatli also confirmed that the club has parted ways with four players including former captain Tlotliso Tumahole, who was released to Morija based side Lijabatho FC, Thabo Matšoele who
joined Matlama FC, Tšeole Ranthimo who is now with Linare FC and Ghana national Patrick Nyako who signed up with the Teyateyaneng based Lioli FC. He said the club management held discussions with the players when their contracts expired in June on the way forward as the team was still interested in their services.
“The management started talks with the players when their contracts expired in June but the discussions were not fruitful as both parties did not reach an agreement, hence we decided to part ways,” he added.
Sebatli said the club is currently working on replacing these players with new signings and will unveil them upon completing all the procedures related to the signing of those players. He said Rammoneng left the club during the January window period to Lioli FC and recently signed a deal with Matlama FC from Lioli FC and not from Liphakoe FC.
