Kaizer Chiefs’ defender Junior Khanye has expressed disappointment over the club’s decision to appoint Fernando Da Cruz as head coach, citing tactical issues and suggesting the club should have considered Pitso Mosimane instead. Khanye’s comments come amid a poor run of form for the team, which has extended its winless streak to five matches.
The club’s recent 1-1 draw against Stellenbosch FC at the FNB Stadium highlighted ongoing struggles, with defenders like Miguel Inacio acknowledging the team is still a work in progress. Inacio, a key player, emphasized that the new coach is still adapting to the Betway Premiership. Despite the lack of wins, the club remains hopeful that Da Cruz will improve results in the coming months.
Kaizer Chiefs have faced mounting pressure following their failure to return to former glory. Khanye’s public criticism adds to the growing frustration among players and fans. While the club has not yet confirmed any changes, reports suggest Da Cruz could be on the verge of leaving by January. The situation reflects broader concerns about the team’s direction and the effectiveness of its current coaching strategy.
