Wits coaching director, Roger de Sa, told The Zimbabwean the ex-Warriors fullback attended the course as part of the partnership the Johannesburg club enjoys with the Royal Dutch Football Federation.
“At Bidvest Wits, we have taken an initiative to develop our own coaches,” de Sa said in an interview at Sturrock Park, the home of Bidvest Wits. “The aim is to enhance the performance of our teams from a junior level up to the senior team. Bidvest Wits and KNVB have a partnership that helps our coaches attend courses there to utilize the Dutch’s expertise.”
The 31-year-old landed a job as a coach of the Wits development side, also known as The Bidboys. This followed a stellar stint with the side he spent the better part of his career with after joining from fire batteries in his homeland in the early 1990s.
Since the former Zimbabwe leftback’s appointment in 2009, he has helped turned Wits’ junior team into one of the most formidable sides in local junior football competitions.
In the last such competition in June, the soft-spoken Yohane led the club’s Under 15 to the final of the South African leg of the Nike Manchester Premier Cup. The team controversially lost the decider to Orlando Pirates, who were accused of fielding over-age players.
