"He was injured, and because he has returned from a long-term injury, he is not yet fully fit. Of course, you are right, and I am still unsatisfied with him," the former Bafana Bafana manager said.

The ex-Al Ahly boss believes the Congolese forward performed better in their last game before facing Aluminium Arak.

"What was your opinion of Kakuta in the previous game? Today, you say that the first 30 minutes were good," he concluded.

Kakuta needs to show better signs on the pitch when Esteghlal FC face Chadormalu in the Iran Pro League on Thursday, December 26, 2024.
