Kaizer Chiefs new coach to determine the future of EIGHT players
So much attention has been on the potential next Kaizer Chiefs coach that fans seem to have forgotten about these EIGHT potential exits.
The next Amakhosi coach will be placed under tremendous pressure when he resumes the Amakhosi hot seat. As things stand, he has millions of frustrated Amakhosi fans, a nine-year trophy drought and the eyes of the SA media locked in on him.
Moreover, he has some big decisions to make with EIGHT Chiefs players contracts expiring at the end of the season. Therefore, he will likely have the final say on the future of these players.
NEXT CHIEFS COACH TO HAVE THE FINAL SAY
Some big-name players contracts are set to expire at the end of the season.
Meaning, he will decide on who leaves the club as well as who signs contract extensions. Long-standing Amakhosi legend and fan-favourite Itumeleng Khune s amongst these. Moreover, PSL’s highest-paid player, Keagan Dolly is also facing a possible exit.
PSL VETERAN AND EX-BAFANA BAFANA STAR FACING POSSIBLE EXITS
Furthermore, the likes of PSL veteran, S’fiso Hlanti and former Bafana star Njabulo Ngcobo are also facing possible club exits at the end of the season.
Meanwhile, loanee Jasond Gonzales is set to leave the club after his loan spell, according to iDiskiTimes. Finally, Siyethembe Sithebe and George Matlou are both unhappy with their lack of gametime. So, the new coach will decide if he gives them more game time or lets them go on this basis.
CRUCIAL CLOSING COUPLET FOR CAVIN JOHNSON
Cavin Johnson has two more games in charge of Amakhosi in this year’s DStv Premiership. Amakhosi host Polokwane City on Saturday, 18 May in their penultumate match of the season. Then, they travel to Cape Town to take on Cape Town City in the final game of the season on Saturday, 25 May. Amakhosi are fighting to secure their place in the MTN8 next season. So, these are both must-win games. Especially, given how tight the latest PSL standings are. Just three points separating Chiefs from 13th placed Swallows FC.
