Kaizer Motaung Jr Dismisses Claims Linking Highly Rated Coach to Kaizer Chiefs

Kaizer Chiefs sporting director Kaizer Motaung Jr has reportedly dismissed claims linking a highly rated former Mamelodi Sundowns coach with a possible move to Naturena, describing the reports as false.

The development comes amid growing discussions about the future of the Chiefs technical team under head coach Fernando Da Cruz. Recent speculation has suggested that the former Sundowns coach could be considered for a return to Amakhosi, but Motaung Jr’s reported response has cast doubt on those claims.

According to reports, Motaung Jr addressed the speculation on X, rejecting suggestions that Chiefs were pursuing the experienced coach. His response comes after rumours about a possible coaching change attracted attention among supporters who have been following the club’s recent performances.

The former Sundowns coach is a respected figure in South African football, having gained considerable experience in the Premier Soccer League. His name has frequently featured in discussions about coaching opportunities, making the reported connection with Chiefs a subject of interest among football fans.

However, the latest development suggests that supporters should be cautious about believing unconfirmed reports concerning the club’s technical plans.

Kaizer Chiefs have also reportedly reaffirmed their support for Da Cruz and his technical team in a statement released a few days earlier. This suggests that the club’s publicly stated position remains focused on the current coaching structure rather than a confirmed change in leadership.

Da Cruz has faced scrutiny following some disappointing results, including the club’s recent exits from cup competitions. These setbacks have raised questions among supporters about the team’s performances and whether the current technical team can deliver the improvements expected at Naturena.

Despite the pressure, the club’s reported show of support for Da Cruz indicates that there is no publicly confirmed decision to replace him.

For the highly rated former Sundowns coach, the situation means that the reported link with Amakhosi remains unconfirmed. There has been no official announcement establishing that an agreement has been reached or that an appointment is being considered.

Kaizer Chiefs remain one of the most closely followed clubs in South African football, and speculation about their technical team often generates considerable debate. Nevertheless, it is important to distinguish confirmed developments from rumours, particularly when reports concern possible coaching appointments.

For now, the club’s reported position is to continue supporting Da Cruz and his technical team. Motaung Jr’s reported dismissal of the claims has added another development to the discussion, but supporters will need to wait for official communication regarding any future changes.

The focus will now return to performances on the pitch as Amakhosi look to improve their results and meet the expectations of their supporters.
