Kavazovic blames Eymael for ‘rubbish’ Stars

Free State Stars coach Nikola Kavazovic has accused former Ea Lla Koto coach Luc Eymael of leaving the club in a ‘mess’.  


Eymael left Stars in November last year, having led the club to Nedbank Cup glory, and was replaced by Kavazovic.

“Even though I’m trying to improve this club, players individually, it’s not easy because I found a dirty, rubbish side which was left by the former coach, players are struggling mentally,” Kavazovic told reporters.

“You know who made this mess, I had to clean that mess first then compete. To be honest right now we can’t threaten anyone, it’s a reality, and the only positive result we can get now is avoiding automatic relegation.

“If you look at Eric Tinkler at Maritzburg United, he had a similar situation. He found a team in a mess but fortunately for him things changed quickly, they are now three points behind us and play good football.”
