“Make it make sense.”
That was my immediate afterthought upon learning that Fernando da Cruz has been heavily linked with Kaizer Chiefs’ vacant senior team head coach position.
Chiefs recently parted ways with Cedric Kaze and Khalil Ben Youssef following the expiry of their contracts after serving as the interim co-coaches of the first team, having replaced former master Nasreddine Nabi.
Since their departures, rumours have been rife that Da Cruz is the leading candidate to fully replace Nabi next season. This is a shocking discovery given the fact that the Frenchman was firmly in Nabi’s circle when the Tunisian took over the reins two seasons ago.
