A month after releasing Frank \u2018Gabadinho\u2019 Mhango prematurely, Bloemfontein Celtic coach, Serame Letsoaka, has admitted that the departure of the Malawi national football team striker was a huge blow.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think I made it very clear that when Gabadinho left. You should remember how well he was playing with [Thabiso] Morena and [Lerato] Lamola, so it was definitely a loss when Gabadinho left the team,\u201d Letsoaka told www. kickoff.com. <\/em><\/p>\n Celtic pushed the Flames striker out after learning that he had signed a pre-contract with Bidvest Wits.<\/p>\n Mhango, who is on loan at Golden Arrows, will join Wits in June when he is expected to pen a three-year contract.<\/p>\n Letsoaka admitted that the Malawian left big boots to fill in attack.<\/p>\n \u201cBut we didn\u2019t have any control over the situation and we had to play the other players that are in the team. We still have [Geoffrey] Massa in the team, we still have [Helder] Pelembe in the team, who are all equally as good, and we are doing everything that we can to make sure that they are also ready,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n The former Big Bullets forward Mhango is enjoying game-time in South Africa alongside Atusaye Nyondo, Limbikani Mzava and Robert Ng\u2019ambi.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Celtic\u2019s controversial owner, Max Tshabalala, has put the team up for sale after being insulted by supporters following last week\u2019s 1-0 loss to Orlando Pirates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A month after releasing Frank \u2018Gabadinho\u2019 Mhango prematurely, Bloemfontein Celtic coach, Serame Letsoaka, has admitted that the departure of the Malawi national football team striker was a huge blow. \u201cI think I made it very clear that when Gabadinho left.
