"I think I have worked with a lot of coaches and throughout when I was an assistant, I always make sure that I support whoever I work with and learn as much as I can," Tembo said.
"I worked with Gavin Hunt, I worked with Gordan Igesund, Coach Pitso and Stuart Baxter. Now I can call Stuart and he is always there to help me, I can speak to Gavin any time, I can speak to all them because there is that trust which was built all these years."
"I thank them because without them I wouldn't be where I am today. You learn from bad and good situations," he added.
