Kaizer Chiefs fans never seem satisfied. There are already big claims that new manager Fernando Da Cruz is too defensive-minded for the role.
Disciplined Da Cruz gets the Kaizer Chiefs job
As you’ll know by now, Kaizer Chiefs have hired a new manager. There will be pressure on 53-year-old Frenchman Fernando Da Cruz to instil a proper playing identity at one of African football’s truly massive clubs. Because he’s known for his emphasis on tactical discipline and defensive structure, Chiefs fans shouldn’t be expecting their team to go all guns blazing to win games by halftime. After several periods of upheaval and interim managerial stints, fans will be eager to see the club stick with one man for an extended period. He’s also got an interesting background, too.
Are Chiefs fans less than enthused?
Da Cruz worked alongside the legendary Argentine Marcelo Bielsa at Lille. Da Cruz had three stints with the French outfit in several roles. Namely, as a scout, caretaker manager and head coach of the B side, where he nurtured talents such as Idrissa Gueye, Lucas Digne, Victor Osimhen, and Eden Hazard. This will be music to the ears of Chiefs fans. They always champion the youth players who come through the club’s structures. You can’t please everyone, though, as we’ve spotted some online slander claiming that the club needs a more enterprising manager.
