Stuart Baxter has admitted that while there is a pressure building on him after an indifferent start to the season with Kaizer Chiefs, he believes it’s simply the nature of a coach’s job.

The Glamour Boys have managed just one win in their opening six games and already look out of a potential title race with Mamelodi Sundowns already 10 points clear of the Soweto giants.

Baxter is undoubtedly desperate to turn things around at Naturena and is confident he will get the backing and time to do so.

“I think every coach’s job is under pressure. That’s the nature of the job these days,” Baxter said yesterday.

“But the real pressure comes when the club you’re working for doesn’t see the culture that you are trying to promote and the learning that’s happening. That’s the real pressure. Social media and what people think changes so quickly these days.”

“You have to remember that I came into this job with virtually no preseason,” he said.

“We have played six games and already I’m being asked if my job is under pressure. I’m the only coach that has won anything over the last 18 years at this club and after six matches, my job is under pressure.

“You question the fairness of that because there is that tsunami nowadays on social media, but we have to ensure that we carry on with our job.

“I have to say that every coach is under pressure. That’s the nature of the job that we have. Sometimes we make good decisions and then other times we make bad ones. But we have to believe that in the real football world, not social media, you have more time and patience.”
