When will Kaizer Chiefs announce their new coach?
With preseason set to start early July, Kaizer Chiefs will name a new coach very soon. Here’s some of the coaches’ names likely to take over.
Kaizer Chiefs are set to bring in a new coach next season following their disastrous 2023/24 DStv Premiership campaign.
Amakhosi finished 10th on the log making this their worst season in the history of the Premier Soccer League(PSL). The team failed to finish in the top 8 once again and will not take part in the MTN8 competition next season. After ending the season empty-handed, Chiefs have now gone nine seasons without tasting silverware.
The 2023/24 campaign saw Kaizer Chiefs announce a new coach. The appointment of former Bafana Bafana coach Molefi Ntseki as Amakhosi coach was met with criticism from the club’s fans. Chiefs chairman Kaizer Motaung pleaded with supporters to give Ntseki a chance.
KAIZER CHIEFS NEW COACH TO BE ANNOUNCED SOON
The 54-year-old only lasted four months before he was sacked after a poor run of form. Amakhosi brought development coach Cavin Johnson in to replace the ex-Bafana coach. Although Johnson began his tenure on a high, the wheels came off in the second half of the season.
Under coach Johnson, Kaizer Chiefs hit an all-time low, despite bringing in nine new players last year. The former Platinum Stars mentor’s stint as interim coach ended this past weekend and the club is set to bring in a new coach.
In the past months, Amakhosi have been linked with various coaches including Jose Peseiro, Alexandre Gallo, Manqoba Mngqithi and Pitso Mosimane. Recent reports also suggested the Soweto giants were interested in TS Galaxy boss Sead Ramovic. A late runner to the list is Petro de Luanda head coach Alexandre Santos. According to Soccer Laduma, the Portuguese is in the front running to become the new Kaizer Chiefs coach.
PITSO, ALEX SANTOS THE FAVOURITES TO LAND KHOSI COACHING ROLE?
“To tell you the truth, there are many meetings going on now at the club concerning the coaches. But the latest is that the likelihood of Pitso Mosimane and Alexandre Santos will be one of the coaches,” a source told Soccer Laduma.
With the PSL season ending this weekend, it is most likely that Kaizer Chiefs will announce their new coach next month. Preseason starts mid-July for most teams so by then, the team should have already introduced their new coach to Naturena.
