After their dominant 3-0 win over Chippa United in the Nedbank Cup, Kaizer Chiefs are set to face even bigger challenges ahead. What’s coming up next for the Amakhosi?
Kaizer Chiefs Triumph Over Chippa
In their recent Nedbank Cup match, Kaizer Chiefs comfortably advanced to the quarter-finals with a 3-0 victory over Chippa United. Gaston Sirino, Inacio Miguel, and Pule Mmodi all contributed to the win. Now, Nasreddine Nabi’s side is gearing up for a tough encounter with SuperSport United, led by former Chiefs coach Gavin Hunt, on Tuesday, February 18 at 19:30.
Ditlhokwe’s Departure Confirmed
In other news, Chiefs have officially announced the departure of Thatayaone Ditlhokwe, who will be joining a club in Libya. The news has left some fans frustrated, with many questioning why the club is letting go of valuable players despite lacking quality depth in the squad.
Kaizer Chiefs’ Coaching Carousel
Since Kaizer Chiefs’ last league title under Stuart Baxter in 2015, the club has gone through a staggering 11 managerial changes. Coaches including Steve Komphela, Giovanni Solinas, and Gavin Hunt have all come and gone without delivering the much-needed league title to Chiefs’ demanding supporters. With the recent appointment of Nasreddine Nabi, fans are hoping the club has finally found the right leader.
Injury Update from Naturena
Currently, five players are receiving treatment, including Sibongiseni Mthethwa, Wandile Duba, Ashley Du Preez, Edmilson Dove, and Dillan Solomons. While Yusuf Maart missed the win over Chippa due to suspension, he’s expected to return for the clash against SuperSport United.
Wandile Duba’s Return
20-year-old Wandile Duba, who sustained an injury against Free Agents FC on January 28, is expected to be sidelined for around six weeks, with a possible return in mid-March. Chiefs fans are hopeful that Duba could make his return to the field in time for the trip to Richards Bay on March 16. The young talent’s comeback will undoubtedly be eagerly anticipated.
