Kaizer Chiefs management is planning significant changes as they embark on yet another rebuilding phase. The team is on track to complete a ninth consecutive year without adding a trophy to their cabinet, and there’s a risk of extending this drought to 10 years if they don’t address their issues in the coming season. Efforts are underway to bring in new faces across different departments to rejuvenate the team and lead them to success. The focus is on making the right decisions to restore the club’s former glory.
There are indications that a new coach may be appointed along with a new technical team. Additionally, there is a possibility of a new goalkeeper coach stepping in to replace Aubrey Mathibe. Discussions also suggest that existing technical staff, such as Dillon Sheppard, may have their roles adjusted to accommodate the changes. The club is open to the new coach bringing in their own staff to ensure a cohesive team.
Amidst these changes, the club is evaluating potential transfers and departures. Itumeleng Khune is anticipated to retire at the end of the season, prompting the team to explore alternative options in the market. Iqraam Rayners from Stellenbosch FC is reportedly a prime target, while the pursuit of Khanyisa Mayo from Cape Town City is proving to be challenging due to the high transfer fee set by the chairman. Additionally, several players may be released or sent out on loan, with the futures of others remaining uncertain.
As the current season draws to a close, Jasond Gonzalez is expected to depart when his loan deal expires, and players like Tebogo Potsane and Ranga Chivaviro face uncertain prospects for the future.
