Ex Kaizer Chiefs Star Backs Cavin Johnson for Another Season Amid Club Links With Pitso Mosimane

• Cavin Johnson has been tipped to remain at the dugout as Kaizer Chiefs coach
• The former AmaZulu coach is in charge of the AmaKhosi on an interim basis
• The Glamour Boys are still being linked with ex-Al Ahly boss Pitso Mosimane

Former Kaizer Chiefs defender has backed Cavin Johnson to remain the coach of the AmaKhosi amid the club's links with ex-Mamelodi Sundowns boss Pitso Mosimane.

Johnson has been in charge of Chiefs since the departure of Molefi Ntseki late last year.

The former AmaZulu coach is working on an interim basis, with the club board still on the lookout for a permanent manager.

In an interview with FARPost, The Glamour Boys' former player David Kannemeyer has claimed that Johnson deserves another year as Kaizer Chiefs' boss amid the club's link with Mosimane.

"Kaizer Chiefs will not be thinking straight if they look for another manager," he said.

"Why go for another coach while he is still there now? I think they should just give him a permanent job and trust him.

"Why go look outside? They have changed coaches in the last nine years, and it didn't work.

"Obviously, it is not the coaches, but a bigger problem is within the group. Is the group good enough?"

Kannemeyer also warned the players to keep working hard and be patient despite their excellent start under Johnson.

"It is a good start for Kaizer Chiefs, but there is still a long way to go," he added.

"I do not think the fans must get excited; the coach said it himself. The players must stay calm and keep on working hard. Hopefully, Johnson can bring in more [good] results."

The 59-year-old veteran manager has been without a managerial role since dumping the United Arab Emirates top-flight outfit, Al Wahda, late last year.

However, Mosimane has confirmed he is open to taking up a new challenge with a new team but first wanted to spend the Christmas holidays with his family.
