Amakhosi's last silverware was the 2015 league title, which they won under former Bafana Bafana coach Stuart Baxter. Since then, they've struggled to keep up with Sundowns, who have won the last seven league titles.

Kannemeyer believes the club has struggled to solve four serious issues, which have resulted in their steady decline from the top.

“There is no planning at Kaizer Chiefs. The culture is gone. There is no philosophy. There is no scouting,” he said, per Far Post.

Kannemeyer suggested a complete overhaul at the club.

“My former club needs an overall clean-up. Players must also take responsibility. They seem to have no clue who they’re playing for."

“The problems at Chiefs start at the top. I think the sporting director [Kaizer Motaung Jr] needs assistance. You need a proper football person like Muhsin Ertugral. We don’t look like Chiefs.”
