His first match in charge was a 1-0 win over title-chasing Kaizer Chiefs just before the pause in the season, while overall he managed two wins, four draws and a single defeat.

He has been rewarded with the role on a permanent basis, a reward for leading the team to 13th in the top-flight, one point above the relegation play-off position.
