‘They Need a Big Coach Like Pitso Mosimane’ - Ex-Kaizer Chiefs Star Wants Amakhosi to Act Now

South African giants Kaizer Chiefs have been told to consider bringing in a top coach like Pitso Mosimane immediately if they want to enjoy success this season.

Chiefs are currently under the stewardship of co-coaches Khalil Ben Youssef and Cedric Kaze who have not had a great spell since they were promoted to take over from Nasreddine Nabi.

The two were Nabi’s assistants at Chiefs but when the veteran Tunisian left under unclear circumstances in September, they were elected in a co-coaching capacity until the end of the season.

However, they have overseen just four wins in 14 matches, seven ending in draws, added to three defeats while Chiefs are winless in their last four games.

The Glamour Boys have just played out back-to-back goalless draws with bottom side Chippa United and TS Galaxy this week, teams they should be beating and former Chiefs right-back Isaac Mabotsa thinks enough is enough.

"Honestly, it's difficult. Based on the last four games, things aren't looking good for the co-coaches,” Mabotsa told South African outlet KickOff.

"As coaches, it's good they received a chance. It shows the club saw potential. They started well, but now they're struggling. That's just my opinion.

"If you recall, they both joined Chiefs as Nabi's assistants. They were promoted to head coaches because management couldn't find a new head coach at the time.”

The former Chiefs defender thinks it is time to bring in a highly experienced and successful coach such as former Mamelodi Sundowns and Al Ahly boss Mosimane.

"I hope the Kaizer Chiefs management is currently searching for a new head coach. For example, they need a big coach like Pitso Mosimane... I'm just giving an example,” he added.

"We need someone who can elevate these players to a higher level because, right now, it's not working. We need a high-profile coach.”

During the reign of Ben Youssef and Kaze, Chiefs have reached the CAF Confederation Cup group stages, where they have one point from their opening two games, while they are fourth on the league standings with 24 points from 13 games, four behind leaders Orlando Pirates, who have a match in hand.
