Kaizer Chiefs have announced the end of Molefi Ntseki’s tenure as Head Coach following a meeting on Monday morning. The decision, reached by mutual consent, comes in light of a series of disappointing results that left the club seeking a new direction.
Stepping in to lead the First Team on an interim basis is Cavin Johnson, who recently took on the role of Head of the Youth Development Academy at Chiefs. Johnson’s expertise and experience will be invaluable in steering the team during this transitional phase. Assisting Johnson in this new role is the current assistant coach, Dillon Sheppard, who will continue in his position under Johnson’s guidance.
Arthur Zwane, who had served as an Assistant Coach, will return to his former role within the club’s development structures, ensuring continuity and stability in the youth development program.

Molefi Ntseki initially joined Kaizer Chiefs in June 2021, taking on the role of Head of Technical and Youth Development. Subsequently, in June 2023, he assumed the position of senior team Head Coach. His contributions to the club, both in the development ranks and as head coach, have left a lasting mark.
Reflecting on the change, Sporting Director Kaizer Motaung Jr. expressed his gratitude to Coach Ntseki, saying, “I would like to thank Coach Ntseki for his contribution to the Club since he arrived here, both at the development level and with the senior team. We wish him success in his future endeavors.”
Coach Ntseki also conveyed his appreciation for the opportunity to coach Amakhosi under the leadership of Chairman Dr. Kaizer Motaung and the Board of Directors. He extended his best wishes to the team for the remainder of the season.
As Kaizer Chiefs embark on a new chapter with Cavin Johnson at the helm, the club and its supporters eagerly anticipate a fresh start and a resurgence of their footballing fortunes.
