'I treat my players like men, not children' - Tinkler explains Maritzburg United transformation

Maritzburg United coach Eric Tinkler says that firm man-management skills and pulling in one direction as a team are the ingredients that have contributed to his side’s strong Premier Soccer League (PSL) campaign this season.

Having won their last four games, the Team of Choice are currently fifth in the standings, nine points behind leaders Kaizer Chiefs although they have played two more games.

This is in stark contrast to last season where they were battling relegation for the better part of the campaign and had to keep their PSL status alive through the play-offs.
