Former Bafana Bafana Coach Clive Barker has praised his counterpart at Kaizer Chiefs, Stuart Baxter for the tremendous job he has done in his first season at Naturena.

Barker who came face to face twice with the Chiefs Head Coach during the second half of the season drawing one (League) game and losing the other one (3-0 Nedbank Cup) believes that Chiefs deserved to win the double.

“I have always said that Chiefs has a potential to win the double this season. They have been the team in the league this season under Stuart Baxter whom I think has done a tremendous job in his first season with the team.

They deserve to win both the league and cup and maybe towards the end they had slowed up a bit, but that is what naturally happens with all top teams and I hope that they enjoy their success.

Stuart has brought a different approach to them and it has worked wonders. He is a very experienced Coach, he knows what he is doing and has had a big influence on the entire squad it seems.”
