FRANCISTOWN: Troubled TAFIC have announced Darlington Dodo as the new coach. Dodo who had a stint at Township Rollers has agreed a season deal with the Francistown-based Premier League side. "Darlington Dodo is the new head coach at TAFIC. He was introduced to players on Tuesday evening," TAFIC secretary general, Carlos Motaung said.

However, Motaung could not be drawn into discussing the length of Dodo's contract. Reports say the coach will sign a results-oriented contract for a season. There will be an option of renewing the contract at its expiry depending on performance, sources said.

Motaung said Dodo is expected to achieve certain targets despite the fact that the club is operating on a shoe-string budget.   He said the TAFIC management is willing and trying to do everything within its power to ensure that the club is transformed into a professional side. "Our financial status is the drawback. We do not have money.  And hiring a professional coach to drill TAFIC is just a gamble," Motaung said.
