Botswana Football Coaches Association (BFCA) are unhappy with Township Rollers coach Nikola Kavazovic's recent remarks following incidents that occured during their 2-0 win over Sharps Shooting Stars.
The Serbian tactician, who was appointed Rollers coach prior to the current campaign, accused Sharps of playing 'kick boxing' and breaking players legs after the Botswana Premier League match which was played at the UB Stadium on Sunday.
The BFCA have since released the following statement:
"This is the position of BFCA regarding incidents that happened at the UB Stadium on Sunday 22 October in a game between Sharps Shooting Stars and Township Rollers is as follows.
"The role of BCFA is to bring unity amongst coaches, to play attractive football that will bring supporters to the stadium. It is upon this objective that we condemn any statement that that is seen to bring the coaching profession into disrepute and make people to belittle the profession.
"If any statement has been uttered by any coach practicing in Botswana, it is a very unfortunate statement which can tarnish the image of the coaching profession and is against the aim of the BCFA that reads," to draw up development programmes for coaches according to the conditions and characteristics of our game of football by setting regulations and Improve compliance and working relations between the club and coaches.
"However we are carrying our own investigations which will determine the next step the BFCA will take. We will do everything to protect the game and ensure that everyone who goes to the stadium enjoys the beautiful game."
