Luc Eymael says he expected more time at Chippa

Luc Eymael says he expected more time at Chippa

The Belgian former Free State Stars and Polokwane City coach managed just one victory, two draws and four defeats in his short time in charge of the Betway Premiership side.

Vusumuzi Vilakazi has since taken up the head coach role, in his second stint. He joins the club after parting ways with Motsepe Foundation Championship team Kruger United.

Eymael said that his parting was hard to take after a number of unlucky results, including the defeat to Marumo Gallants on Sunday that left Chippa at the bottom of the league standings with six points from 10 games.

The coach told FARPost: "I think everybody saw that the team was improving a lot. We created good opportunities now and again.

"I think the brand of soccer was really better. Unfortunately, we have not been very lucky, and there were always small mistakes to kill us, like against Polokwane City FC and against Marumo Gallants.

"I should have expected more games to try to rectify everything because five or six games are very difficult. I am not a magician, but I am a very professional coach and a hard worker.

"At the end of the day, it's life. It's the decision of the boss and the committee, and I have to respect that."
