'I Don't Know What He's Become' – Harambee Stars Coach Benni McCarthy Breaks Silence on Jose Mourinho
Benni McCarthy has shared mixed feelings about the changes he sees in Jose Mourinho.
Tebogo, meanwhile, had to settle for seventh place in the 10-man field, clocking 10.20 seconds. After the race, the 21-year-old spoke candidly about the challenges he faced, pointing in particular to the effects of long travel.
"I mean, I'm excited — good, long travels and everything — but I hate how I performed today. I didn’t see the times, but I believe it’s a great season opener for us, and I'm looking forward to the next one," Tebogo said.
Looking ahead, the Botswanan sprint star explained that he won't be diving back into full training just yet, but will be focusing on correcting key issues he identified during the race.
"For the weeks ahead, I'm just going to go back — not really for full training, just to correct a few things that I noticed during the race that are really, really missing. I believe the next one will be even more amazing and it will be great."

Sabastian Sawe Gives Kenya Another London Title as Marathon Legend Kipchoge Stumbles
Kenya dominated the London Marathon as Sabastian Sawe powered to victory, extending the country’s incredible legacy on the global stage.
"Both technically and in a few aspects of training also. But with training, since it’s going to be a short week, it won’t be as much. I believe the technical side is where I really need to focus."
Tebogo won’t have long to wait for his next opportunity. The Olympic 200m gold medalist is set to return to action at the Wanda Diamond League meeting in Shanghai/Keqiao on May 3, where he’ll contest another high-profile 100m race.
The young sprint sensation has already built an impressive resume. In recent years, he won back-to-back world U20 titles over 100m in 2021 and 2022, before making history at the Paris Olympics last summer by claiming the 200m gold in an African record of 19.46.
