Swallows chair David Mogashoa handed Nyatama the responsibility of coaching the team on a full-time basis after he pulled off the relegation escape act last season.As he looks ahead to the season, Nyatama says there is nothing he can do about what people say or think about him.“It is not about listening to what people say, because people will always doubt what you do, whether it is in football or you are working in another industry.
“I had to explain and the fortunate thing is that we won the match. If the team is doing well, it makes it easy to justify the decisions — and if the results don’t go the right way, it becomes tricky.“It was one of those things I had to explain to the players, but we always have to find common ground. Being a coach has taught me a lot, especially about myself and decision-making during the match, where you have to make a substitution and manage players.
