Kaizer Motaung Jr Breaks Silence on Fernando Da Cruz’s Future at Kaizer Chiefs

Kaizer Chiefs sporting director Kaizer Motaung Jr has publicly reaffirmed the club’s confidence in head coach Fernando Da Cruz and his technical team amid growing scrutiny over the team’s performances and results.

In a statement, Motaung Jr stressed that the club remains committed to supporting the coach and his technical staff as they work towards establishing a football philosophy and development plan designed to deliver long-term success.

“As a Club, we would like to reaffirm our full support for, and confidence in, the Head Coach and the entire technical team,” the statement read.

Motaung Jr also praised the coaching staff for their professionalism, dedication and continued efforts to improve the team. According to the club, the commitment shown by the technical team in their daily work remains unquestionable.

“Their professionalism, work ethic, and commitment to improving the team every day remain irreproachable,” he added.

The public declaration of support comes at a challenging period for Amakhosi, with the club under pressure to deliver more consistent performances and better results. Supporters have high expectations for the Naturena-based side and are eager to see the team return to regularly challenging for major trophies.

Motaung Jr acknowledged that the team has faced difficulties, including injuries that have disrupted preparations and affected the squad’s availability. Nevertheless, he believes the players have continued to demonstrate determination despite the obstacles.

“The team is fighting hard every game to uphold a high standard of performance, and yesterday, despite the result and the injuries we carry, that warrior spirit was visible on the field,” he said.

The statement signals that Kaizer Chiefs intend to remain committed to their current technical leadership rather than allow pressure over individual results to derail the club’s broader plans.

For Da Cruz, the backing represents a public show of confidence from the club’s management as he continues working to implement his ideas and improve the team’s performances.

However, the coach and his technical staff will still need to demonstrate progress on the pitch. Supporters will ultimately measure the success of the project through improved consistency, positive results and the team’s ability to compete for important honours.

For now, Motaung Jr has made the club’s position clear: Kaizer Chiefs continue to back Fernando Da Cruz and his technical team as they work towards achieving the club’s objectives.
