Will Kaizer Chiefs choose a South African coach?

Kaizer Chiefs have not won a trophy in nearly 10 years. Another coaching change is looming closely.

KAIZER CHIEFS TO APPOINT NEW COACH

The chairman confirmed a new coach is coming before next season. According to Kaizer Motaung, the process to find the new man started last year.

Motaung said introducing a new coach during the season would be disruptive. The former superstar said every new coach requires a pre-season period.

“If we bring a new coach now, it will cause a lot of confusion for us in terms of stability,” Motaung said on BBK LIVE, as quoted by SuperSport TV’s Selebalo Phasha.

“Coaches come with demands, these demands in the middle of the season can impact badly on the team,” he concluded.

The pressure increased after interim coach Cavin Johnson started 2024 poorly. Chiefs delivered three goalless draws that included the 5-4 loss to Milford FC on penalties.

In the meantime, reports are pushing information on Chiefs’ upcoming new coach.

LATEST SHORTLIST INCLUDES PITSO MOSIMANE

According to Soccer Laduma, Amakhosi have formed a shortlist of five candidates. The names include to local men.

The report says Pitso Mosimane is top of the list, followed by his former Mamelodi Sundowns colleague Manqoba Mngqithi.

The list also includes two unnamed European coaches, as well as an unnamed coach from South America.

For now, Amakhosi are focused on hosting Golden Arrows on Tuesday night at 19:30.
