IT has been a tough few days at SuperSport United after a humbling defeat which their chief executive, Stan Matthews, described as the “worst result in the club’s history.”
The former South African champions were knocked out of the Nedbank Cup after a shock 1-2 loss to amateurs Dondol Stars last week.
Chigova, who was an unused substitute during the match, has decided to go spiritual during a tough time of reflection for the club.
“For God gave us not a spirit of fearfulness but of power and love and discipline,” the former Warriors first-choice ‘keeper’ posted on his Facebook page.
It has been a difficult period for SuperSport United who have only won once in their last five matches, losing twice and drawing as many matches.
After the loss to Dondol Stars, Matthews said it was the “worst result in the club’s history”.
“We are all upset and in a small way embarrassed by the result,” he told Robert Marawa’s MSW.
“You have to give the opposition credit though, they showed up on the night and wanted the win more than us.
“We gambled by playing an inexperienced team and the gamble didn’t pay off for us.
“Our players also have to look in the mirror and take some responsibility for the result.
“We are all gutted but it’s not something we are going to dwell on”.
Matthews believes the club remains in a very good place and will have a women’s team this year.
“We will have a Matsatsana Maidens in 2023. We have shown what we can do in terms of youth players, we have over 80 players in the PSL that came through our structures and there is no reason why we can’t do the same with regard to a women’s team and their development.
“We have young girls who are good and can go play European football.
“I sell players to balance the books, I have to worry about all 117 people at the club and their financial futures.
“I want to make sure our club is stable and every penny we get from the transfers of players is invested back into the club.”
