Former Kaizer Chiefs Captain Outlines One Ingredient the Club Is Missing From Becoming a Force Again

• Kaizer Chiefs have struggled to compete in the last nine seasons and are looking for a new coach to revive the slumbering giant
• Amakhosi finished 10th in the 2023/24 DStv Premiership, with rivals Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns taking the top two spots
• The club's former captain, Tefu Mashamaite, believes Amakhosi's biggest problem is not underperforming players but the culture

Kaizer Chiefs have not won a trophy in nine years.

In the 2023/24 season, Amakhosi finished 10th in the table following a humiliating defeat on May 25 against already-relegated Cape Town Spurs.

Former Chiefs captain, Tefu Mashamaite, recently said the club needs to correct one problem, which could give them a chance to compete again.

Chiefs finished 10th in the PSL with 36 points, with nine wins, nine draws, and 13 defeats. Their loss against second-tier side, Milford FC, in the Nedbank Cup was a perfect example of how far they've fallen.

The last time they won a trophy was in 2015. Mashamaite controversially said Chiefs players are not the issue but the culture at the club.

"In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with the players," he said via KickOff.

"You get [Sibongiseni] Mthethwa he was playing well at Stellenbosch. You get Du Preez he was playing well at Stellenbosch. You have Given Msimango, he was playing well at TS Galaxy," he said.

"I think it's just a matter of creating a culture of winning mentality when those get get introduced at Naturena."

The Glamour Boys are looking for a new permanent coach to lead the team in the 2024/25 season. Pitso Mosimane, Florent Ibenge, and Alexandre Santos have been linked with the job.

Sports Brief earlier reported on Manchester United coach, Benni McCarthy, sharing his thoughts on whether he could take the Chiefs job if offered.

McCarthy's deal with the English giants is set to expire soon and is one of the names Amakhosi would be looking to bring in.

Mass exodus at Kaizer Chiefs?

Sports Brief also reported that Kaizer Chiefs are likely to part ways with up to nine players from their team this summer after a calamitous 2023/24 season.

The Glamour Boys finished outside the top eight, meaning they won't participate in next season's MTN8 competition.
