Fans react to coach Nteski

@wandile32:

“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over with the purpose of expecting different results, but it's a different story for Kaizer Chiefs after the dubious appointment of head coach Ntseki and bringing back a failed technical team. We should brace ourselves for another drought.”

@RealMrumaDrive:

“This is a disaster of note, Makhosi what have we done to deserve this?😭 Yazi, y’all keep hurting us. Even during a break off the pitch, you’re making sure😭.

@LindoMyeni:

“Out of everyone, they went for Molefi Ntseki, plumber of note! He failed in Bafana what glory he would bring to Naturena! This club is a joke!”

@PovertykillerB:

“As a Kaizer Chiefs fan I finally admit that Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates are better than Kaizer Chiefs. @kaizerm_jr you don’t respect us fans! You’ll regret all this.
