Matsatsantsa currently occupy second-last position in the league standings after failing to walk away with any points at Cape Town Stadium.

Speaking to TFGSoccerClub, Tembo says he can handle the pressure that comes with coaching a club of Matsatsantsa’s calibre.

‘In this job, there is always pressure,’ Tembo said.

‘It doesn’t matter what game you play or where you are in the league, there is pressure. But I can take it.’

The 48-year-old coach admits Matsatsantsa need to strengthen their squad in certain departments, declaring the need to reinforce their defence.

‘We are still looking to add players in certain positions in the team. We especially need more cover in defence,’ he revealed.

‘Overall, though, the aim this season is to be better and especially to be more comfortable with regard to our league position. We don’t want to be in a situation where we have to be fighting relegation.’

SuperSport United will be hoping to bounce back when they take on AmaZulu in their next Absa Premiership encounter on Wednesday, with kick-off set for 7:30pm.
