De Sa won't walk away

May 8, 2012 | Nick Said | 4 comments

Wits coach Roger de Sa said there was no chance of him walking away from the club at the end of the season after what has been a disappointing campaign for the Clever Boys.

BUILDING: Wits coach Roger de Sa

 I'm very passionate about this club and the work that we are doing here and I believe the feeling is mutual 

Wits can make their Premiership survival mathematically safe with a point against fellow strugglers Black Leopards tonight at Milpark Stadium (7.30pm kickoff) as they find themselves six points clear of Santos in the relegation play-off position with both teams having two games left to play.

But Wits are without a league win in 2012, a run of 13 games that has included seven defeats, though De Sa said a crippling injury list has been the major factor behind the results.

He believes they do have the nucleus of a squad to build on for next season.

"I'm contracted to the club for next season and I absolutely love what I do," he said.

"I'm very passionate about this club and the work that we are doing here and I believe the feeling is mutual. It has been a tough job at times. I have been acting as club CEO for the past two-and-a-half years as well, but I'm also proud of what we have been able to achieve. We have developed a lot of players for the South African game and to be honest, that is our major focus."

Has no choice...this job pays bills. He probably earns more than the whole team's salaries combined.
