“By Kaizer Chiefs standards, we didn’t do well and failed to meet our objectives. However, when it comes to the game model there was an improvement in the way we played. Not winning a single trophy was definitely not good,” Komphela told the club’s official website.

“It was more of an ‘eish’ season … We missed scoring chances which were easier to score than to miss, we missed crucial penalties and we conceded goals at critical phases with the last kick of the ball.

“It was very strange and devastating but, as sportspeople, we needed to stay focused, not get involved in blame games and do our jobs irrespective. There were too many unnecessary errors we could have avoided, but it’s gone and we cannot change it – we need to look forward and rectify our mistakes so we deliver.”

Komphela could not promise the Chiefs faithful any trophies for the club in 2017/18, only saying they would try to deliver on expectations.

“Promises are easy to make. However, most important (are) to possess the drive, energy, desire and dedication to wake up every day and keep working extremely hard and try to deliver on expectations.”
