The recent appointment of Molefi Ntseki as the new head coach of Kaizer Chiefs is a turning point for several players at the club. While some players may have a chance to revive their careers, others could face an uncertain future.

Caleb Bimenyimana’s Struggles

Caleb Bimenyimana is a forward who has been struggling to impress since his explosive debut at Kaizer Chiefs. He scored a hat-trick against Stellies initially, but his form has suffered since then. Bimenyimana has only scored once since 2023 against Casric FC. With the arrival of Ranga Chivaviro and Pule Mmodi, Bimenyimana’s chances of regular playing time are at risk.

Austin Dube’s Potential Departure

Defender Austin Dube has been linked with a move to Richards Bay, as the club has reportedly made an offer for him. The additions of Given Msimango and Thatayaone Ditlhokwe to the squad could make Dube surplus to requirements. The competition for spots in the central defense is intense, and Dube may have to part ways with the club.

Njabulo Ngcobo’s Future Uncertain

The reasons behind Njabulo Ngcobo’s potential departure remain undisclosed. However, it seems likely that his time as a Kaizer Chiefs player is drawing to a close.

Goalkeeping Dilemma

Club captain Itu Khune is set to stay on as the number 2 choice behind Brandon Petersen. This decision leaves Bruce Bvuma’s future uncertain, as his chances for regular appearances between the sticks appear slim.

Cole Alexander’s Struggle for Opportunities

Midfielder Cole Alexander faces intense competition for first-team opportunities. Younger talents like Yusuf Maart, Samkelo Zwane, and newcomer Mduduzi Mdantsane are all ahead of him in the pecking order, making it challenging for Alexander to retain his spot in the starting lineup.

Ntseki’s Impact on the Squad

Ntseki’s vision for the team will significantly impact the players’ careers, particularly for those who find themselves on the fringes of the first team. The coming weeks and months will reveal the full extent of Ntseki’s plans for the team, as well as the fate of several players facing uncertain futures.

The arrival of Molefi Ntseki has brought new hope for some players at Kaizer Chiefs, while others face potential exits or reduced roles. The soccer world is eagerly anticipating Ntseki’s plans for the team, and James Freemantle’s coverage will provide further insights, analysis, and appreciation for the beautiful game of football as events unfold at Kaizer Chiefs under Ntseki’s leadership.
