Tinkler plays down Sekhukhune’s title talk despite unbeaten run, pressure from Sundowns

Sekhukhune United boss Eric Tinkler has downplayed talk of his side being league title contenders, insisting it’s too soon despite their unbeaten start to the season.

“It’s still very early in the season, and while we want to be among the top teams, it’s too soon to talk about winning the league. From the moment I joined Sekhukhune, the goal has always been to compete at the highest level, and that remains our focus.”

He continued: “The key now is to stay humble and not let our good start make us complacent, whether as players or technical staff. We’ve worked very hard to reach this point, and that effort must carry on.”
