Kaizer Chiefs Six Players Heading Out Of Naturena Have Been Confirmed!

Kaizer Chiefs supporters, brace yourselves for a significant shake-up at your beloved club. With a new coach taking the helm and several player movements on the horizon, big changes are afoot for the Amakhosi.

Expiring Contracts and Possible Exits

As the season winds down, contracts for eight Chiefs players are set to expire. The new coach will play a crucial role in deciding their futures. Currently, it appears that most of these players will not be receiving contract renewals, as the management has already made some decisions.

Players Likely to Leave

Here’s a look at the players who might be heading for the exit:

• Jasond Gonzales: Set to return to his parent club.
• George Matlou: Likely to leave due to limited game time.
• Njabulo Ngcobo: Expected to join Sekhukhune United on a free transfer.
• Keagan Dolly: Uncertain future due to injury and inconsistent form.
• Itumeleng Khune: Likely to stay with the club.

According to recent reports, the Chiefs management has already decided to let Gonzales go at the end of the season. Matlou, on the other hand, is reportedly unhappy with his limited playing time and may also be on his way out. He has fallen behind players like Yusuf Maart, Sibongiseni Mthethwa, Nkosingiphile Ngcobo, Samkelo Zwane, and Edson Castillo in the pecking order. Interestingly, Castillo himself is considering leaving due to a lack of game time, with offers reportedly already on the table.

Dolly’s Dilemma

Keagan Dolly has had a tough season, missing much of it due to injury and struggling with form when he has played. Once the highest-paid player in the league with a staggering PSL salary of R1.45 million, Dolly now finds himself in a precarious position. Management has offered him a reduced salary, suggesting they no longer value him as highly as they once did, at least financially. Dolly’s lack of form means he wouldn’t even start at Mamelodi Sundowns or likely at Orlando Pirates, which casts doubt on his future at Kaizer Chiefs.

Official Statements

In a recent interview with Ukhozi FM, a representative for Njabulo Ngcobo confirmed that Chiefs have not communicated their intentions regarding his future. The representative mentioned that they are in talks with various clubs in the DStv Premiership, including AmaZulu FC.

Kaizer Chiefs are known for their professionalism, and they typically communicate their intentions clearly. However, it seems that in Ngcobo’s case, there has been a lack of clarity, leading his camp to explore other opportunities.

What’s Next?

With the new coach having the final say on these decisions, Kaizer Chiefs are heading into an uncertain yet exciting period. Fans can expect to see some fresh faces and new strategies as the club looks to build a competitive squad for the next season. Stay tuned for more updates as the situation develops
