Botswana coach turns down new offer

 Updated on 16/02/12  |    By PAUL MURIUNGI

 

The Zebra’s head coach has rejected a new offer from the Botswana Football Association. Stanley Tshosane, who led Botswana to their maiden Africa Cup of Nations this year, turned down the BFA's monthly US$7,500 (Ksh622,500) demanding approximately US$13, 700 (KSH1.13 million). His current contract is due to run out in the next two weeks.

Tshosane has hence gone for a few days leave and negotiations are set to resume next week. He took over as Zebra’s coach in 2009 and has been earning an estimated US$6,200 (KSH514, 600) per month, excluding allowances and bonuses.

Botswana FA vice-president Dintle Mphele commented on the issue and said "We gave him an offer last week, which he was not happy about," Mphele told BBC Sport. "He is currently on leave because he came back from the Cup of Nations exhausted," Mphele said.

Tshosane has reportedly attracted some interest from two South African clubs. But sources close to him said he was not keen to move to South Africa.

"I have offers from South Africa, but I would rather continue serving my country,"
