KickOff reported that Chiefs had reached an agreement for Sekhukhune United midfielder, Yusuf Maart.

The publication reported that Chiefs were negotiating for some time with Sekhukhune United for their club captain. Sekhukhune are believed to have wanted R10 million for the Bafana player, but the two clubs are believed to have settled on a price of R6 million for him.

Maart will now have to agree on personal terms with the Amakhosi before the deal is confirmed by the club.

Kaizer Chiefs have released a host of players thus far while bringing in new players as well. One of the players that were released, Lazarous Kambole, has since agreed on personal terms with Young Africans SC in Tanzania, Goal.com reported.

Kaizer Chiefs have already brought in Ashley du Preez, Zitha Kwinika and Siyethemba Sithebe.

Kaizer Chiefs announce mass clearout, Daniel Cardoso, Lee Baxter and Leonardo Castro are among those released

Kaizer Chiefs are in the process of a mass clearout at the Naturena. The Amakhosi announced on their social media pages that a host of players, and some technical staff, would be parting ways with the club.

Kearyn Baccus, Daniel Akpeyi, Leonardo Castro, Daniel Cardoso, Lebogang Manyama, Lazalous Kambole and Samir Nurković will all leave the club at the end of June.

The Amakhosi have also put Anthony Akumu Agay on the transfer list and parted ways with goalkeeper coach, Lee Baxter.

Kaizer Chiefs appoint Arthur Zwane as permanent head coach and named Dillon Sheppard as Amakhosi’s assistant coach

The wait is over for Kaizer Chiefs fans.

The Amakhosi held a special press briefing today in which they announced Arthur Zwane as their new head coach for the upcoming season. Zwane has been serving as an interim coach alongside Dillon Sheppard since the club sacked Stuart Baxter.

Numerous names were linked with the coaching role during that time, but fans believed that Zwane deserved the chance to lead the Soweto giants. Zwane has been handed a three-year contract. Dillon Sheppard will serve as the assistant coach.
