Maritzburg United letting go of Ernst Middendorp and opting to hire John Maduka instead was undoubtedly one of the least expected decisions of the off-season, but Farook Kadodia has a sound explanation.

Tired of fighting relegation every season, the Maritzburg boss wants a shift in mentality for the club, and believes they should be able to be among the top eight in the DStv Premiership every season and challenge for trophies.

“We wanted a new lease of life, a positive direction,” explained Kadodia. “The kind of football we played [under Middendorp] was of huge concern, but with Maduka we believe we can play far better, attractive football.” Kadodia hopes Maduka brings similar resourcefulness to Maritzburg who, despite surviving the chop, have never really been seen as challengers for anything and are always classified as also-rans.

Such uncertainty is what prompted Kadodia to change strategy and approach the new season with more ambition. “We are not expecting miracles from Maduka, but a top-eight finish and doing well in the Nedbank Cup will make us happy,” he said.
