Neil Tovey sends message to Kaizer Chiefs bosses

The Kaizer Chiefs fall has been consistent for a decade now. The club’s legendary former captain, Neil Tove, has seen enough.

NEIL TOVEY QUESTIONS KAIZER CHIEFS MANAGEMENT

Speaking to the media after watching another poor season for Amakhosi, Tovey simply believes Kaizer Chiefs do not have the right people in management.

“You cannot have other clubs dominating Chiefs like they are now; it is ridiculous,” Tovey said via the Citizen.

As far as the solutions, Tovey said it will not happen cheaply and not with the current management team in charge.

“It will not be like instant coffee, but of course the situation can be turned around with the right players in the right positions on the field, and the right people in management. And I am not for one second saying Chiefs don’t have the right people in management,” Tovey added.

“What I am saying is you must have people who will assist in areas where [Kaizer] Chiefs are lacking. Areas like confidence, motivation and the mental fortitude needed to play for this enormous club,” Tovey concluded.

AFRICAN COACHES

Kaizer Chiefs supporters and the players still don’t know who will coach the team next season. Two reported candidates are from Africa.

Tic, tic, toc, time is moving. Kaizer Chiefs are yet to announce the expected new coach. Meanwhile, two of the reported candidates are from the African continent.

According to FARPost, Amakhosi bosses have created a shortlist of coaches. One of the names is a coach from Tunisia who nearly joined Kaizer Chiefs before the start of the 2023/24 season.

“I wanted [Chiefs] to give me a chance of coming with at least two members of my technical team who will help me,” Nabi said as quoted by Sports Arena.

“However, they told me they have individuals with running contracts, and firing them will be expensive. It became a challenge for me to agree; I realised they could not help me, and I decided to leave them alone,” Nabi added.

Another candidate that is linked with Kaizer Chiefs, is a living legend of the continent from the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Nasreddine Nabi:

The 58-year-old Tunisian has a glittering profile, with two Tanzania Premier League titles and two League Cups, as well as second place in the CAF Confederation Cup.

Florent Ibenge:

Igenge, 62, won the 2016 African Nations Championship with DR Congo, as well as the CAF Confederation Cup and Moroccan Cup with RS Berkane in Morocco.
