Ertugral still waiting for work permit, could miss United clash

Ajax Cape Town coach Muhsin Ertugral may not be on the bench on Friday, as his Urban Warriors side open the New Year with an Absa Premiership clash at home to Maritzburg United.


Ertugral was yesterday still awaiting a work permit, after being appointed as Urban Warriors coach on December 21, following the sacking of Stanley Menzo.

“It is a work permit issue,” Ertugral told Phakaaathi on Thursday.

“These guys always leave things to the last minute … I have a certain permit, but it has to be renewed, and I also have a permanent residence application in the queue … I applied six months ago.”

Ajax may also be without new Zimbabwean striker Tendai Ndoro for the game against United, as on Thursday he too had yet to received a work permit.

“We are also waiting for Tendai to get his work permit, it is the same issue, so he might not be available,” confirmed Ertugral.
