It is true that supporters are not happy with the performance of the club in the league after seven matches but we must not forget the other clubs too are preparing. We have won the league for three consecutive seasons and every club that plays us now play above themselves. We also have a couple of new players in the team so we must relax. As for the sack of Didi Dramani, it is not true”.

The 1982 Afcon winner also added that Didi is currently the best coach in the country and that the fans must be patient for some time as things are bound to change soon. “We must not forget that Didi is currently the best coach in the country and the fans must try to be a little patient.
