Michael Nees Fires Back at CAPS United Coach Lloyd Chitembwe After He Called Him a ‘Clown’
Warriors coach Michael Nees has fired back at CAPS United coach Lloyd Chitembwe after he labelled him a “clown.”
Lloyd Chitembwe’s Frustration
Chitembwe was displeased after his team’s hard-fought 2-1 victory over Dynamos in a derby match on Sunday.
According to Soccer24, Lloyd Chitembwe expressed his frustrations with Michael Nees after he refused to release Godknows Murwira for CAPS United’s crucial derby match. He expressed his dissatisfaction in his post-match remarks, stating:
“I’m one kind of person who speaks his mind, not caring what people think of what I say but I’m extremely disappointed with what happened with Godknows. He is an important player and he is our captain, and for that matter, we need him in important matches like this one. But if some clown thinks he can make decisions on behalf of the team that I coach then it’s very unfortunate.“
Michael Nees Responds to Chitembwe’s “Clown” Comment
After the Warriors secured a 1-0 victory over Namibia in an Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier at the Orlando Stadium, Michael Nees was asked to address Chitembwe’s remarks.
Nees acknowledged the intensity of football pressure but expressed disappointment with how Chitembwe handled the situation publicly.
“This is an example of what football pressure does to people and what people do to football. In some countries I have worked before, the coach’s career would be finished forever,” Nees said.
He continued, emphasizing that coaches, as public figures, should be cautious about their words.
“We as coaches should accept that we are public figures, and we can’t talk whatever we want about other people in public. I think he was under pressure and that’s the life of a football coach. I’m not angry with him, but people should think twice about what they say,” Nees concluded.
