Discord in the AmaZulu camp over Benni McCarthy's temper tantrums with his players, according to an inside source, may be a factor in Usuthu's poor record `according to The South African.

"Every time the team doesn’t do well he blows a gasket. He just has a go at the players, some of whom are seniors, and they feel disrespected when that happens," said an inside source according to The Citizen.

Apparently, this is one of the reasons that Siphiwe Tshabalala left the club, after only being there for one season and making three appearances for AmaZulu.

Benni McCarthy spoke about Tshabalala being released and said that it happened because they needed to put the younger players first in the squad.

"I think Shabba has been a fantastic player to have and he’s given the knowledge he had. He passed it to the team and he might feel that he could still give more, and I definitely think so," he said.
