Kaizer Chiefs are expected to part ways with co-coaches Khalil Ben Youssef and Cedric Kaze in the coming weeks following the conclusion of the season.
The duo steadied the ship after Nasreddine Nabi was dismissed midway through the campaign, helping Amakhosi secure a third-place finish in the Betway Premiership, which is their highest league finish since 2020.
Despite improving results and earning praise from sections of the fanbase, reports suggest Chiefs are looking to head in a different direction ahead of next season.
Could Jingles be going to Kaizer Chiefs?
Former Mamelodi Sundowns and Al Ahly coach Pitso Mosimane has emerged as one of the leading candidates linked with the job.
Mosimane, affectionately known as “Jingles”, has been without a club for over a year and recently admitted he would consider taking the position if approached by the Soweto giants.
Alongside the expected coaching changes, Chiefs could also oversee a major squad overhaul, with close to 10 players reportedly facing uncertain futures at Naturena.
Luke Baartman, George Matlou, Fiacre Ntwari, Bruce Bvuma, Gaston Sirino, Happy Mashiane, Samkelo Zwane, Paseka Mako and Etiosa Ighodaro are all believed to be among the players who could leave at the end of the season.
Amakhosi are expected to strengthen their squad significantly as they prepare for next season’s CAF Confederation Cup campaign.
One player who has been linked to the Soweto giants is Grant Margeman. The midfielder might be an option but given the club already has Siphesihle Ndlou and Sibongiseni Mthethwa, they might not sign the former SuperSport United star
Kaizer Chiefs were eliminated in the group stages of the competition this season, and the club will likely aim to mount a far stronger challenge and compete for continental glory in the next edition.
