Kaizer Chiefs: The Plan to Replace Cavin Johnson with Pitso Mosimane
Kaizer Chiefs, one of South Africa’s most iconic football clubs, is facing a critical decision.
With Cavin Johnson’s tenure as head coach coming to an end, the club’s management is under pressure to find a suitable replacement.
Two prominent names have emerged: Pitso Mosimane and Benni McCarthy. But can they afford either of these high-profile coaches?
The Priority: Pitso Mosimane
Kaizer Chiefs have made it clear that their top priority is Pitso Mosimane. The former Mamelodi Sundowns and Al Ahly coach is highly regarded in South African football circles.
If he becomes available, the club will make every effort to secure his services. Here are some reasons why Mosimane is the preferred choice:
Kaizer Motaung Jnr’s Assurance: Kaizer Motaung Jnr, the club’s Sporting Director, has communicated that Kaizer Chiefs will appoint a new technical structure for the next season.
Mosimane’s name features prominently in their plans.
Kaizer Motaung’s Confirmation: The club’s founder and chairman, Kaizer Motaung, confirmed that they are actively searching for a new coach.
While the process is ongoing, Mosimane remains a top candidate.
Mosimane’s Self-Offer: During an interview, Mosimane himself expressed interest in coaching Kaizer Chiefs. He declared, “Why not? Why not coach Kaizer Chiefs?
Contract with Abha Club: Although Mosimane recently moved to Abha Club in Saudi Arabia, his contract is short-term, expiring in May.
This timing aligns with the end of the Saudi season, making him available for Kaizer Chiefs.
The Benni McCarthy Factor
While Mosimane is the preferred choice, Benni McCarthy’s name is also in the mix. The former Bafana Bafana striker has made a name for himself as a coach, leading AmaZulu to impressive performances.
However, his availability and financial demands remain uncertain.
Conclusion
Kaizer Chiefs face a crucial decision. If they can secure Pitso Mosimane, it would be a dream move for the club.
However, they must weigh their options carefully, considering both financial constraints and the need for a successful coaching transition.
The time is nigh for Kaizer Chiefs to make their move and shape their future on the pitch.
