NEWS: Confirmation From Kaizer Chiefs Office About Coach Johnson Future Next Season
The Soweto giants are looking for a new man to take leadership of the first team’s duties.
The Kaizer Chiefs are now searching for a new coach after extending patience to interim coach Cavin Johnson, who was given the opportunity to establish himself before being awarded a permanent position.
In October 2023, the Soweto giants dismissed Molefi Ntseki and named Johnson their interim coach. However, the 65-year-old has had difficulty turning around the Chiefs’ fortunes at Naturena, where they last won a trophy in 2015. According to sporting director Kaizer Motaung Jr, they are actively searching for a new, capable coach.
There will undoubtedly be a new coach, according to Motaung Jr., as reported by Times Live. We have stated from the beginning that we plan to have a new technical organization for the upcoming season, and Cavin has filled in in the interim.
“I am aware that we have everything to play for and are concentrated on the upcoming game as well as the next seven games. We’ll have a different technical framework for the upcoming season, but yeah, the preparations have been in place for a while, the former Amakhosi striker stated.
“Well, that’s our short list, but who gets to choose the people on it? We’ve been getting ready for a while, and we’ll make the necessary announcements when the time is perfect.
Johnson has overseen 15 games in all competitions after assuming the role of Chiefs interim coach. With five victories, four draws, and six losses in those contests, his record may not be encouraging for a major team like Amakhosi, where standards are typically high.
This record has worked against Johnson, as club icon Neil Tovery supports Young Africans trainer Miguel Gamondi to take over, and the Chiefs are linked to a number of coaches, including Pitso Mosimane, Vanderlei Luxemburgo, Alexandre Gallo, and Roger de Sa.
Chiefs still have seven Premier Soccer League games left until the season is complete after being eliminated from the Nedbank Cup. Johnson has the chance to dramatically improve his situation and finish second for the Soweto giants during those games; if he does, his managers at Naturena may decide to give him a permanent position.
