Mabhuti Khenyeza

Mabhuti Khenyeza (sometimes misspelled 'Khanyeza', born 17 June 1982 in Howick, KwaZulu) is a South African soccer manager and a retired South African professional footballer. Quotes I think we’ve been working together for quite a while now, so it’s very easy to co-ordinate how much effort the players put in, as well as their discipline Another factor is their relationship with the coaches. They understand that a lot of it rests on their shoulders in terms of responsibility, and we’re just here to guide them – that’s it Golden Arrows coach Mabhuti Khenyeza says there’s nothing special about Kaizer Chiefs, August 2024,IOL by Smiso Msomi I took this job to come here and plant a seed to these players for them to be better. I took this job to help those who need to be helped. To leave a legacy. I am not working for money. I am working to leave a legacy, something you will never buy. I hope that’s clear I am fearless. I don’t fear anything. I am strong mentally and I don’t back off in anything I do because I want to succeed. All about legacy for Khenyeza, August 2020, IOL by Bonginkosi Ndadane I follow a lot of international football and the kind of approach that’s used globally. We (South Africans) are sometimes friendly in how we discuss football and we aren’t critical enough I always listen to his interviews, and whenever he does his selection, he doesn’t look at football the same way we do ... He aligns himself with international demands and standards. We watch players and see them do stylish stuff and say they’re hot and deserve to be in the national team, whereas he looks at the physicality or how tactically efficient that person is. It is important to be less of a critic and that’s what I do, especially when speaking to foreign coaches. I always leave room to learn things from them. Hugo Broos backed for a brighter future with Bafana by Mabhuti Khenyeza, August 2024, IOL by Smiso Msomi We just need to focus on the future and forget about the past... We’ll only learn lessons from the past. Even in general life, we learn from the past and we move past If you dwell too much in the past, then you’ll build up a sense of fear of doing things because you keep reciting the last season. This is a new season. Mabhuti Khenyeza looking forward, not back with on-target Golden Arrows, August 2025,IOL, by Smiso Msomi I don't understand this trend, even in global football, you see Liverpool is signing players day-in and day-out but they're still losing, I see other teams do it as well but they still lose because it's not necessarily about who you sign but rather what you do to fix your team, Football is played as a collective, not individuals. It's all about how you fix your teams and set them up in a way that's going to enable you to, not only challenge, but also be difficult to play against. We see teams in the PSL as well who are always signing players and have a squad worth millions on the field at the same time facing a team worth less but because of the application, the team worth less wins the game Transfers won’t fix Golden Arrows’ problems, says coach Mabhuti Khenyeza, August 2023, IOL by Smiso Msomi We are very happy about the team and the kind of football we displayed here (against AmaZulu), we don’t just kick the ball but we play football and we’re gonna play football this season We don’t have ‘big’ players here who could challenge kicking the ball, we have youngsters here who will force even when the surface doesn’t allow it because that’s our culture as Golden Arrows and that’s our DNA. We just need to iron out a few things on our side, those who need to work more should do so but we’ve closed the gap because we’ve covered a lot of things with a lot of different approaches Khenyeza ready to lead Arrows to culture rebirth, August 2024,IOL by Smiso Msomi External Links Category:Soccer players from South Africa Category:Football (soccer) coaches Category:Living people Category:1982 births
