Africa-Press – Botswana. <\/strong><\/span>All but one local coaches currently leading premier league clubs are not qualified to be in charge at that level because they do not have CAF A licences, Botswana Football Association (BFA) has said.<\/b><\/p>\n

Even though head coaches of premier league clubs are expected to have minimum of the Confederation of African Football B Licence \u2013 called CAF B licence, for short \u2013 the BFA insists that all coaches ought to have the CAF A licence.<\/p>\n

Only three<\/b><\/p>\n

BFA Technical Director Tshepo Mphukuthi told in an interview this week that they are working hard to ensure that local coaches are qualified at the right level to take charge of premier league teams with a CAF A licence.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have only three CAF A licence holders in Botswana,\u201d he said. \u201cThese are Benny Kgomela, Philemon Makgwengwe and Losika Keatlholetswe.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe challenge that we have had in the past is that in 2014, CAF took a decision to review its licence scheme and in the process stopped running CAF licence courses until 2018.\u201d<\/p>\n

Compliance<\/b><\/p>\n

As a result, Mphukuthi said, there is a need to ensure compliance because it is possible for all our premier league coaches to have CAF A licences.<\/p>\n

\u201cPremier league coaches should have a CAF A licence and not a CAF B licence under the current situation,\u201d he pointed out. \u201cThis is because our coaching compliance manual says to coach at premier league level, you should have an A licence as a local but we had to waive that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since 2020<\/b><\/p>\n

The BFA instructor noted that strictly demanding the CAF A licence from all local coaches at the beginning of the current premier league season would have left many clubs without coaches.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou will remember that after the convention, CAF decided that every member association should do its sown manuals and submit it to CAF for approval for courses to be run locally Botswana,\u201d Mphukuthi explained. \u201cWe have been working on that since 2020.\u201d<\/p>\n
