DStv Premiership

Zwane suggests Chiefs gets a local coach

Kaizer Chiefs interim coach Arthur Zwane suggests that the club should follow suit like Mamelodi Sundowns and Orlando Pirates to go for local coaches ahead of the new campaign as they understand players better than foreign coaches.

Sundowns are undoubtedly the most dominant team in the DStv Premiership after securing their fifth league in a row under the guidance of local mentors.

“We have to empower our own people. We start there, we have to empower our own people. We have to groom our coaches,” Zwane said.

“I mean, teams like Kaizer Chiefs, Orlando Pirates, as you can see, there is coach Fadlu [Davids] there, there is coach Mandla [Ncikazi] there. Just a little bit of patience, and things will change for the better.”

Zwane says it’s time Amakhosi get a local mentor as there are good coaches who can do great work.

“But also, this side, we have good coaches that can come and help Kaizer Chiefs, why not? Look, our coaches understand where these players come from.”

“We are dealing with a lot of sensitive issues in this country, and a lot of people take those things for granted. And I can tell you, we have so many challenges as a nation let alone life in general. So, you have to know where these boys come from.”

Amakhosi parted ways with veteran coach Baxter last month.
