Kaizer Chiefs Sporting Director Kaizer Motaung Jr has refused to comment on rumors linking two high-profile coaches to the club while the position of head coach is still occupied. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
After the departure of Nasreddine Nabi in September, assistant coaches Khalil Ben Youssef and Cedric Kaze became co-coaches and managed an impressive run. Under their guidance, the club qualified for the group stage of the CAF Confederation Cup and went nine games undefeated in the Betway Premiership. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, Amakhosi struggled in domestic cups, being knocked out of the first round of both the Carling Knockout and Nedbank Cup by Stellenbosch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition, the club failed to qualify for the knockout rounds of the Confederation Cup, losing to Zamalek on the final matchday of the group stage to lose out on goal difference. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, the Glamour boys are struggling, having lost five of their last six matches in all competitions, including three consecutive defeats in the league. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They sit in sixth on the log with 30 points from 18 games, 14 off of top spot but with a game in hand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With any chance of silverware this season ended, many have speculated over potential coaches changes at the club, with Benni McCarthy and Pitso Mosimane\u2019s names mentioned. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, speaking on Marawa Sports Worldwide, Motaung Jr refused to comment, stating it would be unprofessional and not the right thing to do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou are mentioning two top individuals, who have achieved tremendous things in their careers,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c[But] it would be unfair of me to sit here and talk about coaches, when we have coaches in the team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe have our immediate mandate and responsibility to restore the pride and the hurt that [has] happened to the [AmaKhosi] nation and to the team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI have a lot of respect for both of those gentlemen, they have achieved a lot through their playing days, achieved as coaches and it\u2019s always an honour to be associated with people like that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
