SuperSport United coach Gavin Hunt has appealed to the PSL to consider changing the League calendar to accommodate South African teams’ participation in continental competitions.

Matsatsantsa crashed out of the CAF Confederation Cup on Saturday following a 3-1 home defeat to Egyptian side ENPPI, but Hunt reckons Mzansi teams are on the backfoot from the get-go in Africa.

“We have to change the League season to what it was before,” he says. “We have to play from January to November like we used to so we won’t have windows and transfer of players. We work on the European system and yet in Africa they don’t have windows and transfers.

“When we register in December, we have transfers in January and if we get through we would have another window in June where we trade again and people don’t understand it. We need to have a better registration system so that it will allow us to register our strongest teams for these tournaments.”

Meanwhile, Hunt gave credit to ENPPI for the victory at the Lucas Moripe Stadium, saying they were the better side.

“There were more street-wise and clever than us,” the coach said. “They were physically strong as is always the case when you play against the north African countries. They were clever and kept their shape better than us.”
