Kaizer Chiefs are actively pursuing a new coach following the dismissal of Molefi Ntseki in October, with the club’s search expanding to consider international options. Recent reports indicate that Alexandre Gallo, a Brazilian coach currently serving as a team co-ordinator with Santos in Sao Paulo, is now a prime candidate for the position.
While various individuals have been linked to the coaching role, including caretaker coach Cavin Johnson, the club seems to be taking a thorough approach in finding the right fit. The potential inclusion of Alexandre Gallo in the discussions adds an international dimension to the search.
Former Bafana Bafana and Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper Brian Baloyi has expressed strong support for the appointment of Pitso Mosimane, who is currently available after leaving Al Wahda in the United Arab Emirates. Baloyi emphasized, “He’s at the top of my list. In fact, he’s my number one, two, three, and four for the Chiefs position. I don’t see anyone else who is more suitable.”
Meanwhile, Kaizer Chiefs football manager Bobby Motaung provided insights into the ongoing succession planning, stating that caretaker coach Cavin Johnson will play a significant role in the decision-making process. Motaung highlighted Johnson’s understanding of the club’s long-term vision and emphasized the importance of maintaining a cohesive philosophy, especially with regards to development, scouting, and the first team’s success.
