Bobby Motaung Makes A Huge Announcement On Youssef and Kaze's Replacement At Kaizer Chief
The club will not rush to hire a new head coach, according to Kaizer Chiefs football manager Bobby Motaung. Motaung stressed the need of stability as the team rebuilds under the guidance of Khalil Ben Youssef and Cedric Kaze.
After mutually terminating his contract, Amakhosi parted ways with former head coach Nasreddine Nabi in the middle of the current season. In his absence, the club deferred to Youssef and Kaze, both members of the technical staff, rather than immediately hiring a successor. Chiefs are now in fourth place in the Betway Premiership table with 24 points after 13 matches, despite the fact that there have been different outcomes in both local and foreign games.
Motaung is optimistic about the Glamour Boys' future because, despite occasional setbacks, the team is showing signs of growth and improvement under the present coach. Motaung, better known as "Bob Steak," told Isolezwe that hiring a new coach right now could derail the team's success under the present leadership. "We do not wish to disturb the team by introducing a new coach who would seek to implement methods differing from our current practices," Motaung said.
Furthermore, he stressed that a new appointment is sometimes fraught with difficulty, particularly when the new coach has a propensity to reorganize the team's procedures and staff. Youssef and Kaze have been involved with the team since the beginning of the season and have a complete grasp of the players, the club's culture, and its goals, which Motaung emphasized as being crucial to the club's long-term vision.
Since Youssef and Kaze are set to continue managing the squad for the rest of the 2025/26 season, the Chiefs have ruled out the possibility of hiring a new head coach for that portion of the season. As Amakhosi look to maintain their pursuit of a strong league place and lay a solid basis for future accomplishments, the move highlights the club's dedication to continuity during a crucial rebuilding era
