Emva kokubeka iMaritzburg United endaweni entle kwisizini edlulileyo, uDavids utyikitye isivumelwano sengqesho seminyaka emibini. Le ndedeba yathath’ iintambo kwisizini ka-2016/17 emva kokulahla kukaRoger de Sa nasemva kokuhamba kuka-Ernst Middendorp.
IMaritzburg United isokole kakhulu kwezi sizini zimbini zidlulileyo kwaye yenze iinguqu ezininzi – kodwa okubalulekileyo kukuba ikwazile ukumelana nazo zonke iindzingo ebijamelene nazo.

Nangona ingekabinalo ithamsanqa lokuqhuba kakuhle kwimidlalo yokhuphiswano iMaritzburg United – kodwa ngethuba iqeqeshwa nguSteve Komphela, yakhe yayibamba indawo kwiTop 8 yePSL. Kungenzeka konke okufuna liqela ukuba unikwa zonke izinto azifunayo uDavids. “Siyazi ukuba singayenza le nto, sizimisele ukulixhasa iqela ukuze liphumelele. Siyakholelwa ukuba sifanelwe yindawo ephambili kwiPSL. Siyathemba ukuba umqeqeshi wethu uzakuhlala ithuba elide. Ungumntu ozimiseleyo kwaye uyakwazi ukulawula abadlali bakhe,” utshilo uKadodia.

Ibe yinto enkulu nencomekayo kakhulu ayenzileyo uDavids emva kokuthatha iMaritzburg isokola wayibeka kwindawo yesixhenxe ekupheleni kwesizini yePSL ka-2016/17. Ukuba uKadodia angathenga abadlali abasemgangathweni, iqela lakhe lingabuyela phakathi kwalawo aphambili kwibhola yaseMzantsi Afrika.
