  • Pitso Mosimane has been heavily linked with a move to take over as the new coach of Kaizer Chiefs
  • While Cavin Johnson could be given the role permanently, Amakhosi are said to still be looking out
  • Other reported names are Raul Caneda, former Chiefs coach Muhsin Ertugral, and Nasreddine Nabi

Following the sacking of Molefi Ntseki and the appointment of Cavin Johnson, Kaizer Chiefs have reportedly continued the search for a permanent manager.

Johnson was named to take over temporarily and while he could be given the role permanently, the Amakhosi are said to already looking elsewhere for a coach.

It has been stated that the Chiefs' hierarchy would love for Johnson to revert back to his initial role of Head of Youth, which he was appointed as last season.

As soon as Ntseki was relieved of his job amid a dismal run of results, the media was awash with speculation over his possible successor.

According to a report by iDiski Times, Raul Caneda of Spain is among the coaches linked with the job, amid claims the tactician has already been offered the position.

Further reports have mentioned Pitso Mosimane, former Amakhosi coach Muhsin Ertugral, and Nasreddine Nabi of Tunisia, whom the club was negotiating with prior to Ntseki’s appointment.

Mosimane has been heavily touted to be leaving UAE outfit, Al Wahda soon, and it is no longer a secret that the coach is wanted at Naturena.

The former Sundowns coach has had a testing week after a health scare in the UAE, but hopefully, this won't take him out of the running for the Chiefs post.

Meanwhile, Ertugral - who has coached Chiefs twice before - has strong links with the club and is stated to have good relations with Bobby Motaung and Kaizer Motaung.

Mosimane makes case for African coaches

Meanwhile, Mosimane earlier expressed disappointment that African coaches do not get appointments from European clubs.

The former Mamelodi Sundowns head coach has urged clubs from the European continent to give coaches from his continent a chance.

The South African, who currently works in the UAE, stated that despite his many achievements, no club from Europe has made him an offer.

Sundowns lead top 10 teams in Africa

Sports Brief earlier reported that Mamelodi Sundowns of South Africa are the best team from the continent, followed by Egyptian side Al Ahly according to the latest Opta Power Rankings.

The Brazilians are regulars in the latter stages of the CAF Champions League, reaching the quarter-finals at least in each of the past five seasons.

They were the champions in 2016.
