WOW: Kaizer Chiefs set to announce this SHOCK PSL coach!?
With all eyes on Alexander Santos as the new favourite for the Kaizer Chiefs job, shock reports have now emerged on a PSL coach taking over!
Kaizer Chiefs are believed to be about to make a shock announcement of a local coach according to reports!
Chiefs are searching for a new coach, who will come in with his own technical staff for the new season.
It’s believed Chiefs are willing to give the new coach and his staff authority to lead them in a new era. Amakhosi have not won silverware for the past nine years now and currently fighting to finish in the top eight. The risk of going a full decade without a trophy is surely giving the club’s management sleepless nights. It is for this reason that, this next coaching appointment could be undoubtedly the most significant in the clubs history.
Santos was thought to be the favourite
Currently interim coach Cavin Johnson initially harboured ambitions of becoming the permanent coach at Chiefs. A run which saw Chiefs winning three of their last four games of 2024, saw Johnson in with a shout. But now according to the latest, the club are back looking at other candidates. There have been the likes of Pitso Mosimane and Manqoba Mngqithi in a local sense. Internationally, Jose Peseiro, Vanderlei Luxembergo , Raul Caneda Perez and Nasreddine Nabi.
Just at the start of the week, Portuguese coach Alexander Santos was regarded as the front runner for the job. But now in a shock turn of events, Soccer-Laduma reports that TS Galaxy coach Sead Ramovic is the lead candidate.
“It’s believed that Chiefs have opened talks with TS Galaxy coach Sead Ramovic, who had already been in touch with the club. Amakhosi have had a number of coaches showing an interest in the head coaching position, but Ramovic appears to be a frontrunner ahead of the other reported foreign options. What gives Ramovic an edge over the other coaches, it appears, is the fact that he has been working in the Premier Soccer League for a few seasons now and knows the players and culture of local football. As it stands, the Siya crew understands that he is the frontrunner for the position and Amakhosi will make their final choice official once the season comes to an end.” Wrote the publication.
Ramovic now the lead candidate for Chiefs job?
They also reached out to a source who said: “Theoretically he (Ramovic) is moving to Chiefs,”
It remains to be seen if Ramovic will, indeed end up as the new Chiefs coach. After the appointment of Molefi Ntseki last season, however, nothing can be ruled out.
