Kaizer Chiefs legend Doctor Khumalo has blamed the Glamour Boys interim coach Cavin Johnson for the club's defeat against Orlando Pirates in the Soweto Derby.

The AmaKhosi failed to get a positive result in their two meetings against the Bucs in the Premier Soccer League this season.

Chiefs lost the first leg 1-0 at the FNB Stadium last year and followed it up with a 3-2 loss to the Bucs at the Orlando Stadium on Saturday (March 9).

Ashley Du Preez scored a brace in the game for the AmaKhosi, but Monnapule Saleng's two goals and Thabiso Lebitso's strike gave the Pirates the deserved win in the derby.

In an interview with SABC after the game, as per iDiskiTimes, Khumalo criticised Johnson and his technical team for being unable to manage the game properly.

"Kaizer Chiefs were leading but not in terms of the game," he said.

"Both the players and the technical team could not manage the game. You cannot be scoring goals and allowing a team to score.

"Somewhere, somehow, either it is the bench or the information they are getting is not corresponding.

"How on earth do you then substitute the entire right flank, and Pirates score on the right flank immediately after that?

"For me, it was lost on the bench. Like I said, game management, all the players did not understand what exactly the coach needed. But to be honest and precise – get quality players."
