Kaizer Chiefs FC have reportedly held talks with former Manchester United and Aston Villa striker Dwight Yorke over the club's vacant head coach position. The Soweto giants are looking to build on last season's third-place finish in the Betway Premiership. Yorke, who enjoyed a distinguished playing career in England, has since moved into coaching and management. He has previously expressed an interest in taking charge of a major African club if the right opportunity arose. Despite strong prior reports saying French-Portuguese coach Fernando Da Cruz has completed his move to Amakhosi, Sky Sports have revealed the club are setting sights on Yorke. Yorke's coaching career began after retiring from professional football in 2009, when he joined the Trinidad and Tobago national team as an assistant coach. He later earned his FIFA Level B coaching qualification and picked up experience in youth development and scouting, including a role with Manchester United's academy. Yorke landed his first senior managerial position in May 2022 with Australian side Macarthur FC on a two-year deal. His time at Macarthur produced immediate success, guiding the club to the 2022 Australia Cup title with a perfect run through the competition. Kaizer Chiefs FC are expected to make an announcement soon, with the club indicating that updates on the technical team will follow in due course. And with the new season approaching, the club's supporters are eagerly awaiting an official announcement from Naturena. But for now, the Sky Sports report adds another intriguing twist to Kaizer Chiefs FC's coaching search. So, the question on everyone's mind is, will Yorke be the one to lead the team to success in the upcoming season?
