According to the YouTube podcast SportBeat, Yeye, a former AmaZulu FC reserve team coach, did not rate Vermezovic highly.
Yeye said:
“The three seasons under Stuart, we played on transition, which is counter-attack football. It stands out because we won two league titles. [Under Vermezovic] It was a military-style type of training session. For some people, he was more of a strong guy who believed in more hard work; it was just wrong. Coach Muhsin repackaged my career on how to do certain things.”
