Kaizer Chiefs legend, Doctor Khumalo, has criticised Amakhosi players after recording their worst-ever finish in the Premier Soccer League this season.

Cavin Johnson's side needed a win against the already-relegated Cape Town Spurs in their final game of the season, but they lost 2-0 at the DHL Stadium.

The Glamour Boys won't participate in the MTN 8 tournament next season after finishing outside the top eight in the DStv Premiership.

In an interview on SABC Sport's Soccer Zone, as per iDiskiTimes, Khumalo ripped into Kaizer Chiefs' players for lacking the personality to play for the club and also offered advice for the next coach.

"Personality determines if you're a winner," he said.
"Why I chose personality; at Kaizer Chiefs, when you look at the Chairman [Kaizer Motaung Snr.] his personality speaks its volume. How the club is run. The personality of how the club is run.
"The manager that comes [in the summer] can't be a twinsaver. The club has always maintained an arrogant coach. The Chiefs stars must understand that this is 'Kaizer Chiefs' with fans who are used to a culture of winning titles every season.
"I am not taking away anything from anybody that's there now, but Kaizer Chiefs is a team of personality."

When will Amakhosi name a new coach?

Sports Brief earlier reported that Kaizer Chiefs will appoint a new manager soon with an announcement set to take place soon following a disappointing Premier Soccer League season in 2023-24.

The Glamour Boys fired Molefi Ntseki early in the season and replaced him with Cavin Johnson, who served as temporary coach.

Despite adding nine players last summer, the Chiefs failed to finish in the top eight of the DStv Premiership, ruling them from the MTN 8 tournament next season.
