Mabhuti Khenyeza is waiting to discover if he will be handed the Golden Arrows reins this season.
The DStv Premiership club was left without a head coach following Steve Komphela’s exit and subsequent return to Mamelodi Sundowns.
Khenyeza, who has played for and coached the club on an interim basis over the years, is not quite seen as permanent head coach material by Arrows.
Now with their latest departure, the 42-year-old must wait and see how he fits into the plans for the new season, alongside fellow assistant Musa Bilankulu.
“I don’t know. At the moment I’m the one who is in charge and I’m just doing the job. I haven’t met with management yet. Maybe I still have to wait for their mandates,” Khenyeza said in the Sowetan.
“I think there are a lot of things to bear in mind that we need to pay respect to coaches like Steve, and I think we can learn many things from him,” the coach added.
“Thanks to the club for bringing him in last season. He is always open and shares his knowledge. Not in one direction but even when we have opinions, he takes it not only to me but to the whole technical team.”
Arrows, who ended last season in ninth place, are also busy restructuring their squad, with Khenyeza explaining: “We kept most of our players from last season and now it’s all about rectifying the mistakes and having continuity in everything we do. Also, there are new things which we are trying to implement for the players to learn.”
