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

Amakhosi fans must brace themselves for several changes with Kaizer Chiefs appointing a new coach and several player movements on the cards.

Eight Chiefs players contracts are set to expire at the end of the season. Moreover, the new Chiefs coach will decide on the futures of these players. As things stand, most of the players will not earn contract renewals with management having made some decisions already.

Therefore, the new coach will have the final say. Now, another player has been added to the list of likely exits.

SIX PLAYERS LIKELY LEAVING CHIEFS
Jasond Gonzales, George Matlou, Njabulo Ngcobo, Keagan Dolly and Itumeleng Khune are all facing probably exits.

In fact, Amakhosi management has decided to let Gonzales go at the end of the season, according to recent reports. Meanwhile, Matlou and his camp are unhappy with his lack of gametime. Furthermore, this is unlikely to change given his current place in the squad. He sits behind the likes of Yusuf Maart, Sibongiseni Mthethwa, Nkosingiphile Ngcobo and even Samkelo Zwane and Edson Castillo. Ironically, Castillo is also unhappy with his lack of game time and he considering leaving with offers already on the table, according to KickOff.

Ngcobo has not been offered a new contract with AmaZulu, according to SABCSport. Chiefs’ DStv Premiership rivals are holding talks with Amakhosi in an attempt to sign the former Bafana Bafana defender.

“Kaizer Chiefs is a professional club, they communicate about their intentions. Unfortunately, they have not said anything about Njabulo Ngcobo. We are in talks with different clubs in the DStv Premiership, including AmaZulu FC,” Ngubane said to Ukhozi FM.

DOLLY’S LIFE IS ABOUT TO CHANGE, ONE WAY OR ANOTHER
Dolly has missed most of the season with injury. Prior to this, he has failed to be consistent in front of goal.

Failed to touch his staggering PSL salary of R1.45 million. The highest-paid player in the league would not even start at Mamelodi Sundowns. Additionally, he probably would not start at rivals Orlando Pirates either, given his form. His lack of form and game-time have resulted in management offering him a reduced-salary. Meaning, he could leave if he does not agree but it is clear the club does not value him as much as they used to – financially at least.

END OF AN ERA FOR LAST STANDING AMAKHOSI LEGEND
Amakhosi legends Bernard Parker, Siphiwe Shabalala, Erick Mathoho, Reneilwe Letsholonyane and Williard Katsand have all left Chiefs in the past few years. Meaning, Khune is the long-standing and last standing club legend still playing. However, his contract is set to expire at the end of the season.

Unfortunately, despite wanting to play for a couple more seasons, it is unlikely to be for the Soweto giants. His recent actions huge consequences. Essentially, after Khune arrived to training drunk, management put their foot down. First, he was dished out a suspension and now he is unlikely top earn a contract extension with Amakhosi management adopting a zero tolerance policy towards drinking and substance use.
