Interim Paulus Masehe open to full-time head coach role with Sekhukhune United

Interim Paulus Masehe open to full-time head coach role with Sekhukhune United

Masehe was tasked with first-team duties following the sacking of head coach Eric Tinkler.

Babina Noko had been occupying third place on the Betway Premiership standings for much of the season but dropped down to fifth in recent weeks with a string of poor results.

Masehe has, however, so far struggled to make an impact and oversaw a 3-1 away loss to Stellenbosch and 1-1 draw with struggling Marumo Gallants.

Speaking after the Gallants draw, Masehe explained he would accept the head coach role if presented to him.

"The role is a bit of a challenge because if you take a team at this time of the season, you are taking over with certain habits that might take a bit longer to come out," he told FARPost.

"But to be honest, it's an opportunity that I am taking one game at a time.

"I am not looking way far ahead. At the end of the day, it wasn't something that was in my ambitions. I had given myself a bit of time to learn.

“But if it comes, I would grab it with both hands and make the best of it.”
