Mbabane: Talk about a bumper 2020 for newly appointed Sihlangu coaches.
Eswatini Football Association (EFA) will pay senior football national team Sihlangu coaches Dominic Kunene (Head Coach), Gcina ‘Magiyane’ Dlamini (Assistant Coach), Anthony Mdluli (Goalkeeper Coach) and Mbuso Gina (Physical Trainer) a cool E900 000 in combined wages for the year without doing anything.
The quartet were announced as Sihlangu coaches in February with Kunene taking home E30 000 monthly while his assistants are on a reported E15 000 monthly wages.
The global spread of the coronavirus pandemic has ensured that not only football take the backseat but normal life in general as the human race scramble for survival.
According to Global News, most international soccer might not be played until 2021 due to coronavirus pandemic travel restrictions and the need to give club competitions the chance to resume, a FIFA vice president said on Monday April 13.
Victor Montagliani, a Canadian who is president of the governing body for North and Central America and the Caribbean, has been heading a FIFA working group formulating plans to deal with the implications of the world’s biggest sport being largely shut down since last month.
FIFA already has called off matches between countries that were due to be played in March and June. Montagliani, CONCACAF’s president, believes the September, October and November windows for national team matches could be scrapped.
“I personally think that might be a bit of a challenge, not so much because of just the health issues around the world and the various degrees of preparedness, but also committing to international travel as soon as we come back,” Montagliani said in an interview with The Associated Press.
Kunene and his technical team were yet to lead Sihlangu in a match prior to the health scare that saw football leagues around the world being suspended.
