'Coronavirus is God's yellow card to the world' - Sredojevic

The former Orlando Pirates coach is confident that African football will bounce back stronger when Covid-19 subsides

Zambia national team coach Milutin “Micho” Sredojevic believes that when football returns, it should be used to heal people from the “trauma and torture” brought by the coronavirus pandemic which he describes as "God’s yellow card to humanity".

With football on a halt in most countries around the world, Sredojevic is confident that the game will not lose its mass appeal and beauty if action resumes.

Narrowing his views on African football, the ex-Orlando Pirates coach says that this period of inactivity should be used for self-examination to correct any wrongs.
