Pitso Mosimane is reportedly the top candidate for Kaizer Chiefs’ head coaching position, but could Benni McCarthy now be their primary choice in light of the recent events? The Kaizer Chiefs are moving forward with their intention to name a new head coach in advance of the upcoming campaign. Molefi Ntseki took over as Chiefs’ manager prior to the current season, following Arthur Zwane’s departure.
Ntseki was already viewed by the majority of Chiefs supporters as a controversial appointment with no prior success. Before assuming leadership of the first team, he had never managed a senior professional team. Nevertheless, he succeeded Stuart Baxter as coach of Bafana Bafana until losing his job due to the team’s inability to make it to AFCON 2021. He was placed in charge of football development at Amakhosi, and the two got back together as part of a new organization.
But Ntseki’s tenure as the Chiefs’ coach was short lived, as he was fired before the season was even halfway finished. This followed a weak beginning to the campaign that saw them lose two cups as well. Johnson was given an interim leadership position by the club after being removed of his responsibilities. It just so happens that Cavin Johnson joined the team in a developmental capacity prior to being recruited to lead the senior team.
Johnson gave a yell when the Chiefs went on a run that included victories in three of their last four 2024 games. However, the most recent reports state that the club is now again considering other applicants. Reports of Amakhosi pursuing Pitso Mosimane have persisted despite the public denial. He is thought to be the club’s top contender. However, given the growing challenges in getting his signature, Amakhosi may have to look elsewhere. Benni McCarthy could be that “elsewhere.”
McCarthy would be open to returning to the DStv Premiership, according to Soccer-Laduma. Chiefs would be alerted, for sure.
Are Chiefs Allowed to Set Off Mosimane Chase For Mccarthy?
McCarthy is reportedly open to the notion of bringing SuperSport back to the United bench, despite the fact that the United board has not officially approved the decision to fire Ten Hag and start looking for a new manager. These reports come from sources close to Siya.
The former star goal scorer for Bafana Bafana has experience coaching in the Premier Soccer League. He had two successful periods there before leaving to go back home. Sources close to Soccer Laduma have revealed that McCarthy would immediately want to return to coaching, where he would be in charge once more, should Ten Hag leave his position at Old Trafford and take his backroom team with him. penned the article.
Despite not being on the original roster, it’s difficult to see the Chiefs pass up McCarthy should he become available, particularly if they are unable to sign Mosimane.
