Solly Luvhengo says Amajita can win Cosafa Under-20 Championships, currently underway in Gaborone, Botswana.
The national Under-20s take on Mauritius tomorrow afternoon at 3pm, with matches against Tanzania and Zambia to follow.
"I believe in my team and in their ability. I have to be realistic about my ambitions as a coach. Winning here is not impossible and, as a competitive coach, I believe I can win it," says Luvhengo.
Maritzburg United have pulled midfielder Jabulani Ncubeni from the team, while SuperSport United's Grant Kekana is yet to arrive at camp.
Kekana was earmarked to captain the side but that role has since been given to Bidvest Wits' Miguel Timm.
Luvhengo says he that he does not know much about Tanzania and Mauritius, but will not take those countries for granted.
He says his priority is to earn three points from their opening game: "Win our first game and then the other things will follow."
Last year Amajita, under Khabo Zondo, were eliminated in the opening round.
Zambia are the defending champions having won the last two editions of the tournament.
