Boniface claimed the gaffer’s performance during training has been a major influence on the players.

“Imagine you’re training and your coach is doing better than you,” Boniface told AFP in an interview.

“Then you want to step up your game.

“For him to be involved in training gives us a boost.

“Sometimes he tells me of players he played with, with similar abilities to me. He tries to improve me in my weakest areas.”
