FORMER Kaizer Chiefs co-coach Cedric Kaze with his former colleague Khalil Ben-Youssef who remains employed at Durban City, has become the first casualty of the PSL season.

FORMER Kaizer Chiefs co-coach Cedric Kaze has become the first coaching casualty of the 2026/2027 Premier Soccer League season after Sekhukhune United gave him his marching orders on Wednesday.

It is not clear what may have caused panic for the Sekhukhune management four games into the new season since the Limpopo side is currently eighth on the log with six points after four league games.

The only mentally sound explanation for Sekhukhune to press the panic button on Kaze, is the consecutive three-match pummelling they have recently been served by league Betway Premiership champions Orlando Pirates.

They suffered a 1-0 loss in the MTN8 semi-final first leg, 2-0 in the league encounter and a 3-0 drubbing in the MTN8 semi-final second leg.
