Cape Town - New Ajax Cape Town head coach Stanley Menzo has welcomed the international break as it will give him more time to instil his coaching philosophies within the Urban Warriors squad.

Menzo has been in charge for two matches since taking over from Roger De Sa - a 2-0 loss to SuperSport United, and a 1-1 draw away to Free State Stars.

With his side marooned at the foot of the table, the Dutchman has work to do to turn things around and is looking forward to making the most of the two-week break from the domestic action. “I'm very happy that we have two weeks,” he told the Ajax website.

“You have to try and bring the players to your way of thinking, and then from there on you start to work on what you do on the field.

“I have different rules, that's something they have to adapt to quickly. From the rules to the discipline and the kind of rules we have and the way of training.

“There are a lot of youngsters, a lot of naughty boys. As long as they are disciplined and do the things they have to do, they are allowed to be naughty.”
