Pitso Mosimane To Finally Fulfilling A Childhood Dream To Kaizer Chiefs?

Having seemed like all hope was lost earlier in the week, have Kaizer Chiefs been given a late lifeline in their Pitso Mosimane pursuit?

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. Before 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.

A run that 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 is back looking at other candidates. There have been the likes of Pitso Mosimane and Manqoba Mngqithi in a local sense. Internationally, Jose Peseiro, Vanderlei Luxembergo, Raul Caneda Perez, and Nasreddine Nabi.

It has not been made a secret that Chiefs have made Mosimane their preferred candidate. But earlier in the week, this publication reported they may have thrown in the towel. This was after it was suggested the new coach is likely to be a foreign one. But later, Chippa United’s technical director Morgan Mammila ‘confirmed’ his imminent return.
