Amajita’s new coach Maqsood “Macky” Chenia has started his job on a high note after the South African national youth side defeated Swaziland’s Under-20 side 1-0 in Manzini yesterday.
The only goal of the game was scored by Speedy Mabaso.
Speaking to KickOff.com from Swaziland, Chenia said he was happy with the team though they did not have enough time together.
“It was obviously a good start and we are looking forward to getting more good results in the near future as we are starting to gel. The boys are doing well considering that we only gathered on Thursday and many of them are new in the team,” he said.
Chenia added that they are now ready to compete in the Cosafa Metropolitan Under-20 Youth Championships which starts in Johannesburg on Sunday.
“We are now focused on defending the trophy that we won last year. We are just praying hard that teams will release players that we have called up to training. We will be happy for the sake of the country if all the players honour the call.”
Chenia said they will announce the final squad by Friday at the latest because they now have more players than the 20 players needed for the tournament.
“We wanted to have a look at different players and also to see if the overseas players and the PSL players will be available before announcing the final squad
