Kaizer Chiefs FC is under increasing pressure to appoint a new head coach as the pre-season window approaches. The club has been without a clear leadership figure for over two weeks following the departures of co-coaches Cedric Kaze and Khalil Ben Youssef. Former Amakhosi defender Johannes ‘Bricks’ Mudau has expressed his frustration, urging the club to expedite the coaching search to ensure proper planning for the upcoming season. Mudau emphasized that the club should have started looking for a coach during the second half of last season to facilitate a smoother transition and better recruitment of players. Mudau also highlighted a concerning trend in South African football, where clubs often sign players before hiring a coach, leading to mismatches between player profiles and coaching philosophies. This approach can result in costly mistakes, as seen in past seasons when players signed did not fit the eventual coach's system. The former defender warned that the current delay could disadvantage any incoming manager, potentially creating a toxic atmosphere if they are forced to work with a squad they did not assemble. With reports linking Kaizer Chiefs FC to Fernando Da Cruz, fans are left hoping the club addresses its coaching issues before the transfer window opens, to avoid repeating past mistakes.
