AFTER announcing the release of interim technical team led by Cedric Kaze and Khalil Ben Youssef, Kaizer Chiefs are expected to appoint a coach with cridentials to compete with Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates.
Kaizer Chiefs’ latest coaching reshuffle may create uncertainty and discomfort around Naturena, but perhaps that is exactly what the club currently needs.
Comfort has become one of the most dangerous things surrounding Chiefs over the last decade. Too often there have been moments where small signs of improvement were mistaken for genuine restoration.
Too often there has been acceptance of “better than last season” instead of confronting the brutal standards that built Chiefs into one of the continent’s biggest institutions.
That is why the decision to move on from co-coaches Cedric Kaze and Ben Youssef, despite clear progress this season, feels less like instability and more like acknowledgement that Chiefs still remain far from where they believe they belong.
