“Some of you don’t know that I have coached big teams in Africa, and won trophies. I had been in this kind of situation before, in fact worse,” Eymael told the media.

“We had to sit in the dressing room for three hours, locked in there because TP Mazembe fans were angry that we scored an equaliser in the dying minutes of the game.

“They damaged the stadium. For us to get out of the dressing room, we had to call the chairman of the club and he contacted the soldiers to come get us out of the stadium.
