Has Baxter exposed why Kaizer Chiefs haven’t approached Pitso?
Kaizer Chiefs fans want coaching changes, and they have their preferred choices but could Pitso be one of those after Baxter’s bombshell?
For years now, Kaizer Chiefs fans have been calling for the acquisition of Pitso Mosimane as their head coach.
However, those calls continue to fall on deaf ears despite Mosimane’s availability in the market.
In addition, Mosimane himself, confirmed that he visits Kaizer Chiefs Village in Naturena almost every two weeks to watch his son.
And to date, none of the top Amakhosi officials has approached him or asked him if he would be interested in coaching the team.
Mosimane has always maintained that he would consider returning to the PSL provided the project is right.
STUART BAXTER BOMBSHELL THE REASON PITSO ISN’T AT KAIZER CHIEFS?
On Thursday, former Kaizer Chiefs coach Stuart Baxter dropped a bombshell, revealing how difficult his second spell with the club was.
Baxter had rejoined the Glamour Boys in 2021 only to be fired a few months down the line despite his pedigree.
The 72-year-old mentor cited interference, revealing how the current management told him who to sign and play at Chiefs.
And that alone could simply be the reason why Mosimane is not at Chiefs as he prefers making his own decisions.
It was only two seasons ago when Chiefs bought the idea of a coach coming with his own technical team.
Nasreddine Nabi was allowed to bring in his own backroom staff which continues to lead the team even after his departure.
However, it is unclear if Chiefs are willing to continue with that setup after Nabi was let go despite winning the Nedbank Cup.
And that, again, could be one of the reasons the Soweto giants continue to overlook Mosimane because, perhaps, they want to take a different direction.
Some may say Mosimane’s high salary expectations could be the hurdle while others may simply say Chiefs can afford to pay him whatever salary he wants.
But one thing is for sure, Mosimane may be Amakhosi’s long-term solution to their problems provided he has total control over the team.
IS MOSIMANE THE ANSWER?
