Tembo says he is not worried who will take over as the captain of the team should Furman not sign a new deal.
Furman is in the last six months of his current deal with Matsatsantsa and has expressed the desire to move back to Europe at the end of the season.
“As we said last year when the issue came up‚ we don’t want to put him under any pressure into reaching a decision,” said Tembo.
“For the purposes of long-term planning‚ it is important that we finalise this matter as soon as possible so that we can identify another leader within the group to take us forward,” he said.
“I have worked with him since he arrived at the club and he is a highly professional guy who has always given 100%.
“I have never had any issues of discipline with him and he is a good role model for the younger players in the squad and I am sure that he will give 100% for as long as he is with us.”
