Kruger United gunning for eighth-place Betway Premiership finish, says head coach Abram Mongoya

Kruger United gunning for eighth-place Betway Premiership finish, says head coach Abram Mongoya

The Village Boys find themselves in ninth place on the standings with 10 points from nine games.

They have managed three wins and one draw, alongside five losses, most recently beating Richards Bay 3-1 last time out.

They next face Mamelodi Sundowns at the end of November, and reflecting on their recent win, Mongoya says there is still a lot more to come from his team.

"Credit to the boys. They put in a fight. We have always believed in the work we do and we never cracked under pressure.

"The management has always believed in us, so that helped as well. There's still more to come," Mongoya said in the Sowetan.

"I have always told the boys that they should not worry about the pressure from the outside because that is my responsibility, but they must be able to handle the pressure we put on ourselves internally because we have big ambitions this season and that is to be in the top eight," added Mongoya.
