MBABANE – South Africa based former Mbabane Swallows caretaker coach Walter
Rautmann has described Sibusiso ‘Spoko’ Dlamini as the best player he has
ever coached.
‘Mr Fitness’ as the coach is affectionately known, was at the helm of Black
Leopards in 2003 when the former Sihlangu forward dazzled the opposition. From
there he earned a big money move to Kaizer Chiefs after the Venda based side
beat the Soweto giants 3-0 in a bid to cheat the axe that season.
Rautmann featured in Soccer Laduma weekly column Still In Touch where he named
the forgotten Royal Leopards forward as his best ever player in his coaching
career.
The experienced mentor started coaching in South Africa in the 1970s where he
was at the helm of fallen Soweto giants Moroka Swallows among the list of teams
he has coached.
Dlamini, who won the 2003/04 league with Kaizer Chiefs was at one time mentioned
at the same breath as the likes of Absalom ‘Scara’ Thindwa following his
exploits at both Black Leopards and Kaizer Chiefs.
