SuperSport United CEO Stan Matthews has provided more clarity on why the move to sign Keagan Dolly collapsed.
The former Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns winger looked set to put pen to paper at SuperSport before the club pulled the plug on the deal. Matsatsantsa a Pitori have since signed former Orlando Pirates midfielder Vincent Pule to bolster their attacking options ahead of the new Betway Premiership season. Matthews revealed that Gavin Hunt made the final call on Dolly who has struggled with injuries during his time at Amakhosi.
United were looking to fill the gap left by Shandre Campbel who has secured a dream move to Belgian giants Club Brugge after just one season in South African top-flight football.
I couldnt sign both Vincent Pule and Keagan Dolly so that was Gavins choice and hes best suited to answer that kind of question because my job is to support the coach, Matthews told the media on Tuesday.
He has worked with Vincent before and he feels that Vincent can play wide on the left and can play as a 10. Vincent knows Gavins training, pressing and what he wants from him. I think maybe Gavin was a little bit uncertain as to where Keagan is. We did the medical which was fine but when it came down to a selection of A or B, thats the coachs call and I looked to close up what he wanted and he wanted Vincent.
