Teboho Moloi has explained to the Siya crew why he is no longer head coach of Lesotho Premier League club Linare FC.
The former Chippa United mentor was appointed coach of Linare in 2020 and it's emerged that he is no longer in the hot seat, but remains part of the club in an advisory role. Speaking to the Siya crew, Moloi has confirmed that he has another opportunity outside football which he has decided to take.
"I got an offer for an ambassador role at one of the companies here at home, so it will need me to be there full time. But I will still be part of the team (Dinare) at an advisory level and I will still go watch the games, especially the the A-category games. I will also have a say in the coach I think understands the philosophy that I was trying to put in place at the club," the former Orlando Pirates assistant coach tells the Siya crew.
"This role is something different to football. I don't see myself coaching anymore, especially in South Africa. The doors are closed, and it's not something I am prepared to fight and it ends there. I am not coming to South Africa for football. And once the tenure of the president at Linare ends, my advisory role will also end. They will be going for elections at the end of the season I think. If he does not win the elections, my role in football has ended. I will be busy with something else. I want to assure the fans that I am still part of the team because they were worried. I've already spoken to them on getting someone who shares the same vision as me and it will be up to him if he takes it. But if he does not take, I had assistants who were working with me who can do the job, because sometimes when I was at home, I would give them training programmes for the team and they would do well. I know if given the job, they can achieve what we wanted to achieve with the team.
"Let's see what happens, but I will not be lost to the team for as long as the president is still involved. It's just that the job I have here in South Africa wants me full-time, and it's not a coaching job. Once I have settled, I will tell you more about this job. What I am involved in is bigger than football."
