The Belgian tactician proudly explains how he helped to improve some of the players’ performances at Lidoda Duvha during his short-lived spell in Limpopo.  

“Look at Thuso Phala before I arrived at Black Leopards, and when I arrived at the club, and when I left the club. I can also talk about (Thabiso) Mokoena, (Lesedi) Kapinga and (Edwin) Gyimah, they all did well. Look at the goalkeeper, and not this one (Rotshidzwa Muleka) but (Jonas) Mendes when he wasn’t injured. That’s the spine of the team,” Eymael told the Siya crew.

“Yes, some of them were not happy in the beginning when I got there because me I want my players to work seriously. I want to work with discipline and things like that. Most of the players improved when I was there,” the coach added.
