Ouch: Kaizer Chiefs say ‘no thanks’ to club legend’s offer!

Kaizer Chiefs are believed to be pressing ahead with plans to secure the services of a new coach next season.

Arthur Zwane was in-charge at Chiefs last season, before being replaced by Molefi Ntseki ahead of the current campaign.

To the majority of the Chiefs fan base, Ntseki was already an unpopular appointment, with no positive track record. Prior to taking over the first team reigns, he had never coached a senior professional side. He did, however, coach Bafana Bafana after Stuart Baxter, before being fired for failing to qualify for AFCON 2021. The duo reunited as part of a new structure at Amakhosi, which put him in charge of football development.

Ntseki did not last long as Chiefs coach, however, being sacked before even the halfway mark of the season. This came after an unconvincing start to the campaign which also saw them knocked out of two cups. After being relieved of his duties, the club appointed Johnson to take over on an interim basis. Coincidently, Cavin Johnson also came into the club in a developmental role, before being asked to steady the senior ship.

Khuse offered himself to Chiefs

A run which saw Chiefs winning three of their last four games of 2024, saw Johnson in with a shout. But now according to the latest, the club are back looking at other candidates. It was previously reported by this website that club legend Ace Khuse was ready to offer himself as a solution. 

This publication recently reported that Khuse was willing to help Chiefs in any capacity. But now according to Soccer-Laduma, the club are not even looking in his direction. 

Amakhosi not interest

“Ace Khuse is one of the coaches who have been linked with Chiefs and there are a lot of people who believe that he can do the job for the club. But it seems like the club is looking for an international coach or someone with experience, and chances of him getting the job are slim,” said the source. 

Well that seems to be that then for Khuse and any other local coach except Pitso Mosimane for the Chiefs job.
