Leopards coach defends Munyai from boo boys

Black Leopards coach Dylan Kerr is confused by the supporters' reaction to Marks Munyai return to the field for his side.


This comes after Lidoda Duvha fans booed the right-back for having a bad game against Highlands Park at the weekend.

Munyai spend some time on the bench after the club learned that he had signed a pre-contract with Highlands Park.

Kerr says Munyai has explained why he is leaving the Limpopo based club and why he kept it a secret.

“The fans were getting on Marks Munyai’s back. Two weeks ago they were getting on my back on why I am not playing him, now all of a sudden I play him against Highlands Park.  He is not gonna go and have a bad game in front of everybody live on TV.

“Ok, football is like that he is probably nervous, he is probably hurting that now he is going to leave Black Leopards for the team we played (against) today. But you know I have got no criticism for the supporters. Don’t shout and scream at me one day when I am not playing Marks Munyai but when I do play him you shout and scream at the player to be substituted,” Kerr was quoted by LimSportZone.
