Baxter, the son of former manager Stuart Baxter, was recently in the news after his clash with Njabulo Ngcobo.

Ngcobo refused to shake Arthur Zwane’s hand after he was substituted and Baxter attempted to grab the player and force him to apologise, escalating the situation even more.

Fans are reactively positively to the news, feeling that it shows intent from the club to rebuild and challenge Mamelodi Sundowns once again.

The wait is over for Kaizer Chiefs fans.

The Amakhosi held a special press briefing today in which they announced Arthur Zwane as their new head coach for the upcoming season. Zwane has been serving as an interim coach alongside Dillon Sheppard since the club sacked Stuart Baxter.

Numerous names were linked with the coaching role during that time, but fans believed that Zwane deserved the chance to lead the Soweto giants. Zwane has been handed a three-year contract. Dillon Sheppard will serve as the assistant coach.
