As you may have read over the past week, the Glamour Boys signed the 24-year-old Rwandan goalkeeper Fiacre Ntwari from TS Galaxy, before also signing Cape Town Spurs’ 22-year-old left-central defender Rushwin Dortley.
According to additional local reports, Kaizer Chiefs are tarking a winger, a central defender, and two strikers. The list includes Asanele Velebayi from Cape Town Spurs, Inácio Miguel (central defender) from Petro de Luanda in Angola, Percy Tau from Al Ahly and Fiston Mayele who plays for Pyramids FC in Egypt.
MOLEFI NTSEKI ON KAIZER CHIEFS SUPPORTERS AND MANAGEMENT
Former Kaizer Chiefs coach Molefi Ntseki has regarded Amakhosi supporters with understanding and wisdom. Here he is talking about the abuse he faced and what the club should expect from new coach Nasreddine Nabi.
As reported in October 2023, the club decided to part ways with Ntseki after just three wins from 13 games in charge, including four draws and six defeats. Ntseki, who was initially appointed as the Kaizer Chiefs Head of Youth, was given the first team coaching job after Amakhosi’s bosses declined to hire Nasreddine Nabi with his own technical team.
“I don’t think the supporters were very impatient with me,” Ntseki said on Metro FM, as cited by FARPost.
What happened [missile throwing] was not happening for the first time. He had been asked about his relationship with Chiefs supporters.
“So I think something has to make a U-turn in terms of how things are happening at the club. If I’m saying the supporters were impatient with me, what about other coaches? Before I was appointed, the expectation towards the end of the season was for Chiefs to have a new coach. As the technical committee, we were looking for that coach [Nasreddine Nabi], and things did not work out for us.
“The club decided to appoint me. I think what needed to happen at that time was for the supporters to understand why the expected coach could not come to the club at that time. So when you look at my appointment from the word go, the supporters were not happy. Already there was a bit of frustration. And because of what they experienced over the years, they wanted someone they believe will bring success.
“What they want is players and the coach to win them trophies and the league. [That] is not going to happen overnight,” the former Kaizer Chiefs coach and Technical Director concluded.
AMAKHOSI NEED A PLAYMAKER
Soweto giants Kaizer Chiefs have been moving lowkey in the transfer window so far. One of the club’s former coaches has suggested a key position to strengthen.
According to Khan, who is one of the leading youth experts in South Africa with his Stars of Africa Academy, Amakhosi have the required attacking options but an attacking midfielder.
“Chiefs have a good squad and great attacking players. But I think they should get an attacking midfielder,” Khan told FARost. “They should get someone who is a ball player, creative, makes those runs around the box, good passer, and has a good vision.
“With that position solved, I think they will do well in the upcoming season. It’s a completely different set-up that promises to be different; let’s wait and see,” the former Kaizer Chiefs development leader added.
Does this sound like a Themba Zwane or Patrick Maswanganyi? Yes.
