New Free State Stars Coach Won't See Orlando Pirates Game

New Free State Stars Coach Won't See Orlando Pirates Game

Word reaching the Siya crew is that unlike Kaizer Chiefs coach Ernst Middendorp, who was appointed Amakhosi trainer on Friday and can immediately get to work, former Township Rollers trainer Nikola Kavazovic still has to play the waiting game.    It is understood that the 43-year-old Serbian does not yet have a work permit, while his counterpart at Naturena has a South Africa PRP – meaning Middendorp, who replaced beleaguered Giovanni Solinas, is a permanent resident.     Read: Khuzwayo: I Could End My Career    Siya sources have indicated that Kavazovic has been confirmed as the new Free State Stars coach after he agreed to a two-and-a-half-year deal to dump Kenya's AC Leopards and move to the Premier Soccer League.    He replaces Luc Eymael, whose contract with Ea Lla Koto was terminated early because of poor results last month.    "We were expecting him to be here in time to watch our game against Orlando Pirates tomorrow night, but we are still working on his visa application," a source told the Siya crew.    The Absa Premiership fixture at home against the Buccaneers is the first domestic game for the Bethlehem side since they parted ways with Eymael.    Assistant coaches David Vilakazi and Selaotse Mosala were in charge of the two legs of the CAF Confederation Cup preliminary round matches against Rwandan outfit Mukura Victory Sport, who beat them 1-0 on aggregate last week.
