The contracts of nine players, including Njabulo Ngcobo, are also set to expire, and negotiations are ongoing. Fans eagerly await the decisions made in the coming weeks as they will shape the team’s future for the upcoming season, and there are murmurs of new additions to the team.
What is the status of Kaizer Chiefs’ new coach and player contracts?
Kaizer Chiefs has not yet officially announced their new coach for the upcoming season, though rumors suggest Nasreddine Nabi may be a contender. In addition, the contracts of nine players, including Njabulo Ngcobo, are set to expire, with negotiations ongoing. The decisions made in the coming weeks will shape the team’s future and potential for the upcoming season.
As the frigid winter gradually recedes, the supporters of Kaizer Chiefs find themselves in a state of eager anticipation. The club’s ardent followers, endearingly referred to as Amakhosi, have been waiting with bated breath for the official announcement of their new coach for the upcoming season. The football fraternity buzzed with the possibility of Pitso Mosimane taking the mantle. However, it has since been confirmed he is no longer a contender.
Mahlatse Mphahlele, a seasoned reporter from Times LIVE, suggested that attracting Mosimane to the Chiefs’ home ground, Naturena, would have cost the club a considerable R2 million per month. Mosimane’s reputation has grown exponentially in the Gulf region, inflating his market value. This would have required the Chiefs to considerably increase their budget to successfully entice him.
The likelihood of Mosimane’s move to Chiefs was dependent on his willingness to accept a salary reduction and his excitement to see a position at Chiefs as a challenging project. The club has yet to make an official statement regarding their new coach. However, it’s been insinuated that they are actively seeking, and an announcement could be around the corner.
Meanwhile, the rumor mill churns with talks that Nasreddine Nabi could potentially be unveiled as the new Kaizer Chiefs coach. This possible decision is bound to instigate significant dialogues amongst Amakhosi fans.
In the midst of these coaching changes, the impending expiry of Njabulo Ngcobo’s contract with Kaizer Chiefs is an issue that cannot be ignored. Ngcobo’s contract expires at the end of the month, which would make him a free agent. His agent, Sboniso Ngubane, has been sounding alarm bells for Amakhosi.
Ngubane has publicly expressed his unease regarding the delay in contract negotiations, which has led to conversations with other DStv Premiership teams, AmaZulu FC included. The agent has been tight-lipped but has subtly suggested that Sekhukhune United is interested in Ngcobo once his stint with Chiefs concludes.
Ngcobo is not the only player whose future remains uncertain at Naturena. Eight other players, including Itumeleng Khune, Siyethemba Sithebe, Sifiso Hlanti, Samkelo Zwane, and Happy Mashiane, are nearing the end of their contracts. The club is faced with the daunting task of deciding which contracts to extend and which players to release.
As these players face an uncertain future, there have been murmurs about new additions to the Kaizer Chiefs team. Fans are undoubtedly excited to see the new recruits and whether they’ll play a part in restoring the club’s former glory.
As daylight dwindles, the countdown to the new season begins. The decisions made in the ensuing weeks will not only set the stage for the future of the club but also shape the team’s identity and potential in the upcoming season. Amid all these uncertainties, one thing is for sure – the coming month is set to be both crucial and exciting for the fans and players of Kaizer Chiefs.
