Sundowns chase away Hristo

Johannesburg - There was drama on Thursday morning at Mamelodi Sundowns’ training ground when Hristo Stoichkov, Antonio Lopez and Miguel Gonzalez were refused entry to the coaches’ dressing room by general manager Kenneth Makhanya and security guards.

The coaches refused to renew their contracts with the team and their current deal expires in June. They apparently wanted to finish their duties with the team, but when they arrived at Chloorkop on Thursday morning, they were told they are not welcome.

Gonzalez told the Siya crew that they were surprised by what happened.

“The contract that we have runs out in June and until then we thought we were still Sundowns employees, but today they told us that we cannot use the dressing rooms. Mr Makhanya himself first came to us then after that the security guards also came,” Gonzalez said.

He added that they did not want to talk to the media because their lawyers will be talking to the club’s lawyers.

“If we are not allowed at the club then we have to get our money for March, April, May and then June. If that happens then we won’t have a problem but as of now we are confused on what to do,” he said.

According to Gonzalez, they were supposed to meet Patrice Motsepe on Tuesday but they were instead told to prepare to go back to Spain.

“Up to now we have not met the president (Motsepe) and until then there is nothing much I can tell you,” he said.

Efforts to contact Makhanya proved futile as he was said to be in a meeting at the time of publishing.
