Mike Mangena Believes Bernard Parker Should Retire

Mike Mangena Believes Bernard Parker Should Retire

Former Kaizer Chiefs striker Mike Mangena thinks that Bernard Parker should consider hanging up his boots, with the forward's best years now behind him.

Mangena: The Boys Were Nervous

The 30-year-old has enjoyed a trophy-laden career, including 72 caps for South Africa, but only managed to score two league goals in the 2015/16 campaign, which is why Mangena thinks he should consider hanging up his boots.

"They need to look at Bernard Parker. Parker has done it, he's had a fantastic career, he's done well," Mangena told Soccer Laduma.

"But it's time to say: 'Hey, let me hang up those boots.'"

Shongwe: Chiefs Aren't A Bad Team

Mangena explained that he thinks it's time for Chiefs to start blooding youngsters and give them a platform to take over from the former FC Twente player.

"I'm not one to tell him what to do, but the coach needs to play the youngsters now, because I don't see Bernard Parker making any difference as a player."
