“We are desperate, very desperate to go back to Africa. We tasted that glory a little bit [last season] so we want to go back and conquer the African continent and be one of the best teams on the continent."

Kaizer Chiefs made the final of last season’s tournament but were beaten by Al Ahly. The Amakhosi failed to qualify for this season’s tournament, with Mamelodi Sundowns and AmaZulu representing the country at the continental competition. They also face a battle to qualify for next season’s tournament, competing for second place with Royal AM, Cape Town City and Orlando Pirates.

Zwane has also been commenting on Kaizer Chief’s style of play following the loss, adding that they lacked that killer instinct, Soccer Laduma reported.

“I cannot say we are changing things, but I can say we are trying not to be predictable. When we are in attack or reach the final third entry, we should have that element of surprise, he said.”
