Kaizer Chiefs have identified another new favourite for head coach job. The club will appoint new club’s coach ahead of upcoming season.
As they get closer to the big announcement, passing week brings the identification of a new front-runner for the Kaizer Chiefs coaching position.
Kaizer Chiefs are rumored to be moving forward with their preparations to hire a new coach for the upcoming campaign. Chiefs have also had offers from outsiders, like as Roger de Sa, the former coach of the Orlando Pirates. This magazine also revealed that Rui Vitoria, a former coach of Egypt and Benfica, had joined the list.

“You know at this stage things are changing regarding the issue of the coach as there are consultations going on between the technical team and management and that is why now the Portuguese coach (Rui Vitoria) is the one on the top of the list. They have looked at what he has achieved and how his team’s play. They believe that if given the chance, he could change the fortunes at the club. So as we speak now, he stands a better chance than the Spanish coach Raul Caneda. That’s how things are now,” said the source.
Prior to the current season, Molefi Ntseki took over as Chiefs’ manager, replacing Arthur Zwane from the previous one. Ntseki was a controversial selection to begin with, with no track record to cheer for, according to most Chiefs fans. He had never coached a senior professional side before assuming command of the first team.
But Ntseki’s tenure as the Chiefs’ coach was short lived, as he was fired before the season was even halfway finished. This occurred following their lackluster campaign debut, during which they lost two cups. Johnson was given an interim leadership position by the club after being removed of his responsibilities. Interestingly, Cavin Johnson joined the team in a developmental capacity prior to being recruited to lead the senior team.
