Fresh reports have it that the club board is determined to bring in an experienced coach as they prepare to rebuild.

Komphela boasts an impressive coaching resume, having recently turned things around for Golden Arrows after taking the reins mid-season and engineering a remarkable turnaround.

In 11 games in charge, the South African guided the team to three wins, six draws, and two defeats, which is said to have attracted Simba SC's interest.

iDiski Times reports that his successes in the region have made him an attractive option for the Tanzanian giants.

However, while no official offer has been presented to the tactician, it is reported that Komphela is high on the club's list.

Julien Chevalier of ASEC Mimosas is also being considered for the job, but many believe the South African is a strong favourite.

The appointment of a new head coach is crucial going forward. With Komphela at the helm, the team may finally find the stability and direction they need to succeed.

Sports Brief earlier reported that SABC journalist Mazola Molefe claimed Kaizer Chiefs would appoint Nasreddine Nabi as their new permanent manager.

The Glamour Boys are said to be keen to pay off Nabi’s remaining year with Moroccan league club FAR Rabat to bring him to the DStv Premiership club next.
