Manager Search for Kaizen Chiefs: Everything We Currently Know
Pitso Mosimane the Kaizer Chiefs Pipe Dream
Pitso spent Christmas 2023 concentrating on his family as his Al Wahda contract was terminated after just 10 games. At the close of an exciting year for Jingles, he also shared his immediate goals:
“To tell the truth, there is interest in me now, and not in the Gulf at all, but in a completely different space that you and I could ever think of,” he said.
Thus, interest has existed. Additionally, there has been one intriguing one from North America. Furthermore, why not? We have a legacy there, so why not travel to North America, Japan, China, or any other country?
“So, I would probably travel to Asia just to have a look if you could find an intriguing project in the Gulf, for instance, and a project similar to that in Asia.
“But, I don’t mind returning to the continent for that one—the national teams—but not for clubs.
Shall we exclude Jingles first? Anyhow, it’s just a pipe dream.
Vanderlei Luxemburgo Prefers Chile to Chiefs
Brazilian giants Corinthians lost their highly experienced manager, Vanderlei Luxemburgo, in September of last year. Rumors have claimed that the 71-year-old former Real Madrid manager is keen to join Club Deportivo Tricolor in Chile. Veteran of the Brazilian scene Luxemburgo guided his country to Copa America victory in 1999. Among the legendary names in that team were Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Roberto Carlos, and Cafu.
Manqoba Mngqithi Staying Put With the Champions
According to Mngqithi’s representative Mike Makaab, his client is happy to stay on as Sundowns’ assistant coach and is currently negotiating a new contract. Luxemburgo and Mngqithi appear to have eliminated themselves from consideration.
Manqoba is content with the club, as we have consistently stated. Just last month, he told Gagasi FM, “It just depends on us and the football club agreeing to extend his contract.
Nasreddine Nabi Seems Like the Smartest Tactical Choice
The Naturena move was about to happen, but the Tunisian tactician’s demands and conditions killed the transaction. The Amakhosi board has since loosened some of the requirements, though. Importantly, if Nabi signs on the dotted line, they will permit him to bring his own technical staff. Could he be the front-runner?
Remarkably, Nabi guided his former team, Yanga SC, to consecutive triple crown victories. The 58-year-old has seen success in the past. He is well-positioned to win another league championship this season with FAR Rabat, a Botola Pro 1 team in Morocco. After 25 rounds, his squad has 61 points, four points clear of the closest rival, Raja Casablanca. With six league games remaining, Nabi has a good chance of winning another domestic championship.
The Legit Contender is Lehlohonolo Seema.
Give him the nickname “wildcard” You can tell Sekhukhune means business by looking at his shape from 2024.
Lehlohonolo Seems hasn’t held the most glamorous positions, but he has amassed a remarkable portfolio of work across the football pyramid in South Africa. He held a number of positions with the now-defunct Bloem Celtic, served as Black Leopards’ interim manager, and went on to become head coach at Chippa, Golden Arrows, and Polokwane City. In November 2023, Seema was hired by Sekhukhune. He has managed nine league games in barely four months. Out of those, he has won five, drawn three, and lost one. This football team is very serious.
