Kaizer Chiefs in Talks with Pitso Mosimane: Chairman’s Direct Call Sparks Major Coaching Shift

Kaizer Chiefs could be on the verge of a exciting new chapter. Reports claim that club chairman Dr. Kaizer Motaung Snr personally contacted renowned coach Pitso Mosimane this week to discuss taking over the team.

The current co-coaches, Khalil Ben Youssef and Cedric Kaze, stepped in after Nasreddine Nabi’s departure in October. They managed to keep Chiefs competitive in the title race for several months, but recent poor results have led to a sharp decline in form. The club is expected to part ways with the duo at the end of the current season.

According to sources, Pitso Mosimane responded positively to the chairman’s call. He expressed readiness to “fix” things at Naturena, Chiefs’ home base, but with clear conditions. Mosimane insists on bringing his complete technical team, including his trusted analysts, fitness experts, and support staff. He wants full control to lead a complete rebuild, rejecting any half-measures or shared coaching setups that could limit his vision.

This move would mark a bold step for Chiefs, who have struggled for consistency in recent years. Mosimane, a highly successful coach with multiple CAF Champions League titles and experience at top clubs like Mamelodi Sundowns and Al Ahly, is seen as someone who could restore glory to the club.

The potential appointment has fans buzzing, especially with other big names like Benni McCarthy (who has shown interest) and Rhulani Mokwena also in the conversation. The race for the top coaching job next season looks intense, promising a strong lineup of options for the 2026/27 campaign.

Kaizer Chiefs supporters now face a big question: Should the club hand Pitso Mosimane full authority and let him bring his entire team to rebuild from the ground up, or might his demands be too extensive for the club to meet?

This development highlights the chairman’s proactive approach to addressing the team’s challenges. While nothing is officially confirmed yet, the direct involvement of Dr. Motaung signals serious intent. Chiefs fans are eager to see if this leads to a “masterpiece” revival at one of South Africa’s biggest clubs.
