Kaizer Chiefs will be on the market for a new coach this summer.

The PSL giants finished 10th in the 2023/24 DStv Premiership and ended the season trophyless for the ninth successive year.

Manchester United coach and Bafana Bafana legend, Benni McCarthy, is open to coaching Amakhosi if given the opportunity.

Cavin Johnson coached the Naturena-based team for the majority of the 2023/24 season after taking over from Molefi Ntseki, who was fired earlier in the season.

However, per iDiski Times, the interim coach will return to his Head of Youth role starting next season, opening the door for a new head coach to arrive.

Pitso Mosimane, McCarthy, Florent Ibenge, Miguel Gamondi, and others have been heavily linked to the role in the last few months.

Speaking to renowned journalist, Robert Marawa, on 947, McCarthy said he would consider taking the role if they offered it to him.

"Not many coaches in the world say no to institutions. Man United is an institution. Real Madrid is an institution, and Bayern Munich is an institution. I think Kaizer Chiefs, you can say its an institution. It's a great club, its a club that that I have a lot of love for because it is my local team. The team in South Africa I supported as a kid."

"Unfortunately, I have never had the pleasure to play for them, to coach them. If an opportunity comes, you'll have to sit down and think about it, and like I said, you don't say no to institutions."
