By the AFREEQUE newsroom, based on Times of Eswatini
Eswatini clubs are reportedly using rented coaches registered as managers to circumvent licensing requirements, according to James Kunene, secretary of the Eswatini Football Coaches Association. The federation promises to appoint a training officer before the end of the year, after Confederation of African Football courses stopped in 2017, reports the Times of Eswatini.
Football clubs in Eswatini are using “rented” coaches, registered as managers, to circumvent licensing requirements, said James Kunene, secretary of the Eswatini Football Coaches Association (EFCA), the *Times of Eswatini* reports. He denounced the practice at the association’s annual general meeting, held on Sunday 18 October in Mbabane.
Kunene said some clubs even signed contracts in the coaches’ names. The Confederation of African Football (CAF) rules prohibit unlicensed coaches from managing teams in the Eswatini Premier League.
