"He won the Nedbank Cup with Chiefs in 2005, with SuperSport [United] in 2016.
"Then in 2017, he won the league in Japan, and won in Sweden also, so he has won a lot.
"So there's huge respect from my side and I am new in this business [as a manager] and I'm happy about it.
"I've worked so hard to improve myself, yes, I've played with one of the best players in the world and played under some of the best coaches in the world so I've seen a lot of quality.
"But, again as a coach you also have to improve and work hard day by day and if I get 1% of the success that Baxter has had I'll be happy."
The Rockets next face a trip to Swallows FC at Dobsonville Stadium in a DStv Premiership encounter on 19 February.
Kick-off is at 18:00.
