Kaizer Chiefs have been generous with several players who can’t seem to stay fit. If they can’t stay fit, they can’t be reliable.
It’s time to cut the cord between Kaizer Chiefs and Ngcobo
Fan-favourite and academy talent Nkosingiphile Ngcobo is under fire for his failure to string together consistent performances. Injuries have ravaged the 26-year-old’s career to date. Now, rumours suggest the club could move him on at the end of the 2025-26 campaign. One fan said he is ‘made of glass’, in an attempt to highlight his frustrating injury-proneness. This seems to contradict his nickname ‘Mshini’ in ironic fashion.
Benni could return to coaching in South Africa
Former Porto, Blackburn and Ajax striker Benni McCarthy says he’s open to a return to club football. The Kenya head coach is currently the frontrunner to replace the caretaker duo of Cedric Kaze and Khalil Ben Youssef. On other news, former Chiefs player Brian Amidu is in hot water.
“They are a good team with very good players,” McCarthy said via IOL.
Sirino has flopped for Kaizer Chiefs when it mattered
Meanwhile, after an underwhelming stint with the club, 35-year-old Uruguayan Gaston Sirino is unlikely to have his contract renewed. A return of five goals and eight assists in 46 appearances isn’t a horrendous return, but the club hasn’t got the best out of him in the marquee fixtures.
