South African soccer team Kaizer Chiefs is reportedly considering adding new talent to its technical team. The team’s management is said to be closely observing the situation of Brandon Truter, the current coach of Sekhukhune United, with the possibility of an eventual move to Naturena.

Truter’s Impressive Résumé Makes Him a Contender

Truter has recently built an impressive résumé, having guided Sekhukhune United to the CAF Confederations Cup with their Nedbank Cup finalist performance. Additionally, the club secured a spot in the top eight of the DStv Premiership. Truter’s successful campaign stands in contrast to the difficult season experienced by the Kaizer Chiefs under Arthur Zwane’s leadership.

Zwane’s Lackluster Performance Opens the Door for Truter

Zwane, a former academy coach, faced disappointing outcomes in the MTN8 and Nedbank Cup, with the team being eliminated in the semi-final stages in both competitions. Furthermore, the Chiefs finished fifth in the DStv Premiership, missing out on the CAF Champions League and CAF Confederations Cup. This lackluster performance has opened the door for Truter to potentially join the team.

Co-Coaching Approach May Be on the Table

Rumors suggest that the Kaizer Chiefs are considering a co-coaching approach, with Truter as a potential candidate to work alongside Zwane. According to a source for SoccerLaduma, “The club isn’t considering firing Arthur Zwane just yet, but need someone with experience to work with him.”

Truter Faces Competition from Polokwane City

However, Truter’s potential move to the Kaizer Chiefs faces competition from Polokwane City, which is also expressing interest in the successful coach. This club is willing to offer him a significant salary to lead the team in their first season back in the top flight. Although an option exists for Truter to extend his contract with Sekhukhune, the clause has not yet been activated.

Mayo’s Future Career Path Unfolds

In related news, former Mamelodi Sundowns striker Sandile Ndlovu has suggested that Khanyisa Mayo’s decision to extend his stay at Cape Town City until 2028 was influenced by his father, Patrick Mayo. The young striker had been linked with a potential move to either Kaizer Chiefs or Mamelodi Sundowns after a stellar season at Cape Town City. However, Ndlovu believes that the elder Mayo, a former soccer player himself, played a crucial role in guiding his son’s career choices.

Ndlovu Believes Mayo’s Future Is Bright

Ndlovu shared his thoughts with KickOff, stating, “If you have a father who played the game, you will never make the same mistakes your father did.” He went on to explain that the three-year deal between Mayo and Cape Town City was likely proposed by the club in order to secure their position for the future. Ndlovu added, “The more he plays for Bafana, the more Cape Town City stands to sell him at the right price. Next season he will be worth more. Remember football is a business.”

Impact on Future of Teams Involved

As the South African soccer landscape continues to evolve, the decisions and negotiations surrounding Truter and Mayo are sure to impact the trajectory of the teams involved. Whether the Kaizer Chiefs adopt a co-coaching strategy or Mayo’s future career path unfolds as Ndlovu predicts, the coming months will reveal the outcomes of these fascinating developments.
