KAIZER CHIEFS WANT 2024 TO COME ALREADY

Amakhosi currently sit in fourth place, four points behind third-placed SuperSport United, who they face on Saturday. They’re six adrift of Soweto rivals Orlando Pirates. Meanwhile, Pirates eliminated Chiefs from the Nedbank Cup last weekend, so the club’s trophy drought will extend into a ninth year, at least.

BOBBY MOTAUNG PROMISES A PROPER REVIEW

As the club’s trophy drought will continues to over eight years, Bobby Motaung insisted they will do a proper review after the end of the campaign.

“Obviously we’ll be doing a review in terms of the support, we need to support them. We never put them there to fail,” he told TimesLIVE.

“Also, we put them there to develop them and and help them grow, and when we do our review at the end of the season, we will see where we need to beef up and where we need to support.

“Like I said, we are also learning from the challenges that happened this season and we are going to make sure we assist and add more value to the staff and to the players.”

BOBBY CALLS FOR PATIENCE

Motaung insists that Rome wasn’t built in a day and fans need to be patient as the club navigates a rebuilding phase.

“When we started the season, we knew it was not going to be smooth, it was not going to easy,” he added.

“We had just started with a young coach, with a young technical staff and everything has been fresh but we knew that it was going to be tough.

“It was going to be a blessing to win the MTN8, or to win the Nedbank Cup or be in the CAF Champions League.

“But you must remember when you build a house from scratch, when you’re rebuilding, it’s not an overnight success; it is a journey.

CONSISTENCY IS KEY?

“If you look at how Sundowns is winning and how other teams are winning, it’s about consistency. They never revamp their team, they just adding on and adding on. Ours is more about the experience of the young players.

“We are going to next season definitely beef up [the squad] and look at where the challenges were and work on it. Football is a journey. It is not an overnight thing or one-day thing, it is a process and we are on that journey.

“Fifty-three years of success of Kaizer Chiefs it’s an experience that we have had and we know where we are going. We are aware that it’s been a disappointing season, but just a rebuilding season. The experience the coaches gathered, the players, the young players are gaining, will help us going forward.”
