Nthaga refuses to back down as Tonota FC reign turns sour

At the helm was Thaloba 'Machine' Nthaga, who had masterminded the team's rise from the First Division. Nthaga guided Tonota FC through an unbeaten campaign in the lower division, further enhancing his reputation.A feather in both his and the club's cap was his elevation to the position of interim Zebras coach. Here was a team fresh from the First Division, yet providing the country with a candidate for the national team coaching job. It was unprecedented, as the Botswana Football Association (BFA) has traditionally looked to the top flight or abroad when appointing a Zebras coach. Yet Tonota FC arrived with ambitions of winning the FNB Premiership at the first attempt, whilst having the national team coach within its fold.The club is also building its own facility in Tonota, adding to the excitement surrounding its arrival.
