Former Kaizer Chiefs striker Matthew Rusike believes Kaizer Motaung Jr is doing a good job in terms of recruitment.
Amakhosi finished outside the top eight in back-to-back seasons, leading the management to go all out to find top players. It seems to be paying off as new recruitments have delivered so far this campaign, helping the team to fight for the Betway Premiership.
Rusike feels Kaizer Chiefs are on track despite fans not happy with the current results.
“I think as Kaizer Chiefs fans we are not patient,” Rusike said, speaking exclusively to KickOff.com.
“I think Kaizer Jnr is doing a great job as sporting director, especially in terms of recruitment and other matters. We just have to be patient.
“The team is playing well now, but in football all over the world, if coaches don’t bring results, they get fired, that’s how things work. If the two coaches fail to win, they will be replaced. It’s simple.”
Kaizer Chiefs have improved but still struggling for consistency
With Chiefs parting ways with head coach Nasreddine Nabi, some supporters called for Pitso Mosimane to take over. The club however promoted Khalil Ben Youssef and Cedric Kaze as co-coaches having worked as Nabi’s assistants.
“As for those calling for coach Pitso, make no mistake, he is a world-class coach. Any team in the world would not mind hiring him because we all know his capabilities,” Rusike added.
“But for now, I think we should let Kaizer Jr handle the situation. If the two coaches do well, they will continue. If they don’t deliver results, they will go. That’s how football works.”
Kaizer Chiefs are currently fourth in the Betway Premiership after 13 matches.
