Well-known South African football agent Mike Makaab has warned Kaizer Chiefs defender Inacio Miguel over his conduct on the field.

The Angolan joined Amakhosi at the beginning of the season and has quickly become a fan favorite.

He has not only earned the trust of the fans but also the coach, as evidenced by his appointment as captain in Maart's absence.

Makaab warns Miguel to temper his emotions, as they have led to a number of yellow cards and even a red card this season.

‘HE’S GOT TO BE LESS EMOTIONAL’

“I looked at the captain, Inacio [Miguel]. I think he's a top footballer, but he's got to be less emotional. He is going to get yellow card after yellow card and, red card after red card if he doesn't calm himself down,” Makaab said on GagasiFM's ExtraTime.

Makaab says Miguel is one the Chiefs’ senior players that must help the youngsters when the team is not doing well.

“As a captain, you need to have that composure and that sense of calmness so that when the young players around you are losing their heads or feel initiated or feel overwhelmed, it's then your senior players that have to steady the ship,” added Makaab.

“Unfortunately, Chiefs' senior players never steadied that ship at all.”
