  • Kaizer Chiefs have ended speculation concerning their coaching changes since Molefi Ntseki's axing
  • The AmaKhosi have been linked with former Mamelodi Sundowns and Al Ahly boss, Pitso Mosimane
  • The Premier Soccer League side has been under the stewardship of Cavin Johnson since late in 2023

Premier Soccer League side, Kaizer Chiefs have reportedly confirmed their first team manager until the end of the season amid links with former Mamelodi Sundowns coach, Pitso Mosimane.

The AmaKhosi have been without a permanent manager since the departure of Molefi Ntseki late last year.

Chiefs then appointed Cavin Johnson to take over the helms of affairs on an interim basis, and he has had a decent run since being in charge.

Johnson has won four games, drawn one, and lost twice in the seven matches he has been in charge of the PSL giants so far this season.

Despite links with Mosimane, Kaizer Chiefs management has confirmed he will remain the first-team coach until the end of the season, according to a report by GOAL.

Bobby Motaung confirmed the former Al Ahly assistant coach has been doing an excellent job since he took over as interim coach and is being trusted to lead until the end of the season.

"The plan was to stabilise the team; he has done well so far. It's good for him now that he is in a pre-season camp with the team to prepare fully," Motaung confirmed.
"Remember, he was not part of the plan at the beginning of the season. With the positives we saw in the games he took over, he can do well and succeed. The squad has positive energy, and I think he will do well for us."

Meanwhile, Mosimane could join Saudi Pro League side, Abha Club after reportedly flying out to agree on terms with the Middle Eastern club, as Sports Brief also reported.

Sports Brief also previously reported on Kaizer Chiefs reacting to claims that Mosimane turned down the coaching role at the PSL club.

The AmaKhosi have been consistently linked with the former SuperSport United coach since the departure of Molefi Ntseki late last year.
