Larsen unfazed by defeat

Magesi Football Club coach Clinton Larsen was gracious in defeat against Sekhukhune United on Wednesday. Dikwena went down 1-0 in the Limpopo Derby played at the New Peter Mokaba Stadium and in his assessment, Larsen pointed out a few factors that played a role in the team not achieving its objective for the first match, which was to collect maximum points. “I thought we started the game pretty well. I thought the first 20 minutes, we dominated possession, but the entire first half, we never really got near their goalkeeper,” Larsen …

SPOTLIGHT ON CLINTON LARSEN

Twenty-one (21) months into his tenure as Magesi Football Club Head Coach, Clinton Larsen returns to the top-flight amid much fanfare. The 53-year-old mentor has been in the dugout for 15 years, from his days as an assistant coach at Bloemfontein Celtic and arriving at Magesi FC almost two years ago. Larsen’s transition from player to coach was expected. After all, the Durban-born mentor was one of the notable leaders of the Manning Rangers side that punched well above its weight in the mid-90s.
