Martin speaks about AmaZulu's plans for next season in the tweet below:

According to SportsWire, Martin said he is better attuned to the PSL's demands, but last season, supporters were frustrated by his complaints about the referees.

Martin said:

"We are ambitious, and we don't want to put limits on ourselves. Let's see what happens at the beginning of the season. It's important to collect points, which we didn't do last season; it was tough for us. Now we know the league better, we know our squad better, we know what to do."
