Will this appointment stick this time?
Following the departure of Fernando Da Cruz, Kaizer Chiefs have reportedly zeroed in on a replacement for the assistant coach.
KAZE IS THE FRONTRUNNER TO BECOME THE ASSISTANT AT KAIZER CHIEFS
Via UnplayableZA, Burundian coach Cedric Kaze is a top candidate to work alongside head coach Nasreddine Nabi. The pair know each other well after working alongside one another for Yanga SC. Kaze is the former Burundi National Team coach and has worked with the U17s, U20s and U23s.
VELEBAYI IS AVAILABLE, AT THE RIGHT PRICE
21-year-old Cape Town Spurs winger Asanele Velebayi is still a target for Amakhosi. Spurs CEO Ari Efstathiou has reiterated the club’s stance on their prized asset, saying he would be sold should a club come up with an offer which meets their financial demands.
“There are no discounts when you know the worth of your product. We have shown that we are not opposed to selling players. We have lost three crucial players: Two of them went to Stellenbosch, who were willing to pay what we were asking for, and one to Chiefs. This is how it works all over the world.
“If anyone meets our asking price for Asanele, he will be transferred,” he added.
“In the meantime, Asanele is focused on the job at hand, and must say as a young player, he is handling the situation in a very mature way” he concluded.
THE NEXT FIVE CHIEFS MATCHES IN THE BETWAY PREM
Meanwhile, Amakhosi will be eager to follow up on their win over Gallants as they look ahead to upcoming tests. The matchwinner on the opening day, teenager Mfundo Vilakazi, will be absent against SuperSport and potentially Sundowns because of his call-up to the South Africa U20 Men’s National team for the Cosafa Cup.
